This comic-book is a compilation of a work done in the middle-70's by three talented persons :

* Alain Dister who must be one of the biggest french expert about rock culuture
* Marcel Gotlib who draw little funny characters in every corners of every page
* Jean Solé who draw the most part. Great drawings (He also made the cover)

The main aim of that comic is to make french people understand the sometimes uneasy-understanding english lyrics of the songs. Always having fun and parodying those great songs they finally admit loving.
