Launch Release for Sex, Comics and Rock'n'Roll released March 2007.
New Website Offers Readers a Little Sex, Comics and Rock’n’Roll
Web Entrepreneur and writer launches new pop culture entertainment news site.
Monday, March 5th, 2006, Kincardine, Ontario – After almost two months in beta testing and development, new pop culture and entertainment news site, Sex, Comics and Rock’n’Roll is now live at www.sexcomicsandrocknroll.com.
“The idea came from wanting to create a news site that combines some of my favorite things, and like many other people out there my three favorite things are in fact sex, comics, and rock music. I didn’t want it to be a regular site though, I wanted it to be fun and irreverent, and a place where readers can…get accurate pop culture news…” said site owner and professional writer Mike Gagnon.
Gagnon had been working on the concept for over a year, but had it on the back burner while working as a book and comic book publisher. After Gagnon left the publishing industry in late 2006 to pursue his calling as a freelance writer he finally was able to make the time to bring his concept to life.
