Comics: The Soundtrack - Music in Comics

CageNarleigh

Now, this might sound kinda dumb, given that comics are a visual medium and music doesn't really play much of a role in them. HOWEVER, there have been times when comic creators drop in references to various bands or songs (in either art or script) or can even use the mention of a particular song in an effort to get it "playing in your head" (so to speak) as you read the comic.

I figured it'd be kinda cool to have a collection of these mentions and perhaps youtube links to those songs to share with others (that is, if linking to youtube videos doesn't take up too much bandwidth).

So I'll take the first step to get things going. From, oddly enough, Infinity INC. #22 (a CRISIS tie-in!!!)



Additionally, I seem to recall a list in the back of Jeffrey Browns "Any Easy Intimacy" of music that was supposed to "go along" with that comic.

Have at it forumites!

Dazzler's original series had her covering songs by Talking Heads, Boomtown Rats, Patti Smith, etc...I remember them reprinting portions of the lyrics (because she's singing them), but I don't recall any citations showing up. Wonder if that was getting stuff in under the radar?

If I'm remembering correctly, the first Crow mini is chock full of Joy Division references.

The first thing I thought of was V for Vendetta. There are notes/music score actually drawn into the book. A musician, David J, even released his version of the song, "This Vicious Cabaret".
