Kurt Busiek

1. Bruce Springsteen, stories full of melancholy and energy and fire and despair.
2. Joni Mitchell -- specifically, I want to write an anthology of stories inspired-by-though-not-literally-based-on the songs on COURT AND SPARK, enough so that I've brought it up with at least one editor but never done anything more with the idea
3. John Hiatt -- hmm, wouldn't mind writing a bunch of those, either.
4. Genesis circa WIND & WUTHERING/TRICK OF THE TAIL -- Scott McCloud did a comics version of "Robbery, Assault and Battery" in high school (or was it early on in college?), and it was good. Those songs would lend well to comics.
5. Blue Öyster Cult. It was hard not to make the last choice Woody Guthrie, but there are so many artists these days who'd have a blast bringing BOC's songs to life that I'd love to see it.
