Thank you for all the comments. I've added some more information to the video's title. I really appreciate what Dave Hornsby did and I wish I've known this existed before 2011. There's also a comic-book rendition of "Cygnus X-1: Book One - The Voyage". I uploaded a video version of that one as well. I live in Finland and I think these comics weren't available here. I didn't know anything about them and some information I read back in 2011 was also wrong. That's why I had removed some text and had just written "comic book with song lyrics" to the title. After that I also added a link to the probable source where I originally found the comic from to the video's description box. What I do know is that the pictures are by Dave Hornsby. Three of the pages were also drawn by his friend Floyd Hughes. The link to the comic is in the video description box. You can also find a writing by Floyd Hughes there. He wrote a few words in the memory of Neil Peart and mentioned a few things about the comic as well. These comic books and also the music of Rush are works of art and should be preserved. I'm really thankful for all these great musicians and artists. I made sure that the music videos are in a good enough quality and everyone can read the words clearly. I hope I did them justice. Take care and have a wonderful day.

In 1976...being a big Rush geek, I thought that 2112 was the pinnacle, but then came A Farewell To Kings, leading into Hemispheres. Just amazing musical prowess and lyrical genius. Thank you Geddy, Alex and Neil...

This adds a new dimension to Book II, and I wish I'd seen this sooner! I love that along with the Greek Mythology themes Peart uses Don Quixote's horse "Rocinante" as the ship's name. I swear Peart WAS the Sphere.

@garymackenzie8588 10 жыл бұрын

Just to be clear - unless I missed something really important (!?) none of the Apocalypse comics were ever published by a major company (and certainly not Marvel). Dave Hornsby was (is ?!) a keen amateur British comic book writer/artist, and enthusiastic Rush fan, who put these together as an entirely self-financed project. A talented guy, I have every issue he published (I kept bumping into him at comic marts in London where he was flogging them). I doubt very much that each issue had a run of more than a few hundred copies, and I also doubt (given that, as far as I can tell, he never broke through professionally) that they are worth anything, but I still have them and I was a bit of a fan. Of course, I stand to be corrected ...

@Vimana 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the information and I'm sorry for such a late reply. I originally just copied the text from the website where the comics were available back then. So, I'm not really an expert on the subject. I removed the word "Marvel" from the video's title. Better late than never I guess. I did this to my other Cygnus X-1 video as well. I also took out all information about the comic book from the video's description and replaced it with a link to the source. You can all check it out and read some more about it from the website although the information might be very incomplete and not entirely correct. I think it's the same website I got it from but it also seems they have edited the text and the pages quite a bit after my last visit.

All you musicians out there - guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists - learn to play this epic song. It doesn't matter how good you play it, I guarantee you will improve on your chosen instrument. I play bass, and I love to play this, nowhere as good as Geddy, but as an etude it's one of the best.
