If you ever wanted to see Queen frontman and rock god Freddie Mercury as a superhero, unicorn rider or racecar driver, look no further.
This new comic strip by Pablo Stanley captures the spirit of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" so well we swear we can feel Mercury hitting those high notes. The music-savvy cartoonist, who recently translated the Beatles into graphic form, told The Huffington Post of his new work: "I just wanted to share this comic I made from the lyrics of Queen 'Don't Stop Me Now' in honor of Freddie Mercury's death anniversary." The British singer died on November 24, 1991.
Check out the comic below; we highly recommend blasting the song for the full experience. link link
Woo hoOoooO!
Pablo Stanley will now be forever known to the twelve dedicated fans of Queenzone and the typical f*** up Judas; Jones 0000. (The zero is for magnified interest and scientific likabiity)
I only wonder if this is a hoax to intersperse the name "Paul" Stanley into the queenzone ranks.
All hail "Pablo Stanley"? ;)
The art is crisp and colorful though....good character rendering. Much better tribute than that music station advert with the guy in cut off jeans doing Freddie's Live Aid kinda dance

I was thinking the same thing, as was someone commenting on Huffington Post.

why always the moustache!?
I guess he's just more recognizable that way. A lot of people already had that sort of haircut that he did in the 70's, but his 80's style was very influential.
I wouldn't say influential, I can't think of many people who cropped their hair and grew a big gay moustache coz Freddie did... recognizable certainly...

I don't know, I seem to remember reading somewhere that Freddie's look at that time, with the clothes, the sweet moustache and lots of chest hair, served as sort of a model for gay guys in the 1980's, though I'm not saying what I read was accurate.

"sweet moustache". LOL. Enlighten me - how does one's moustache become "sweet"??? Did he save some ice-cream in there or something?
I'm not sure if you're playing dumb and making a stupid joke, or if I've created confusion by using language only some people use. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
In America, at least with the kind of people I talk to, "sweet" is often used as a synonym for other vague adjectives like "cool" or "awesome."Basically, it's saying that you like something quite a bit. I think Freddie's 'stache is really cool, so I called it sweet.
Hi guys, Pablo Stanley here (not hoax).
I'm glad you liked the comic. I wish I had more time at the moment and finish the whole song.
I tried to use Freddie in different eras, but I ended using Freddie with a moustache since that's the most recognizable look he has (and the look he has in the internet meme).
I really appreciate your discussion thread here. I'm honored!

I was joking :)
Of course I understand the language you used lol
However, it does sound really pansy - "COOL" would have been more like it.
