===''The Crow'' (1989β1994)=== {{Main|The Crow}} Smith's lyrics, as well as those of [[Joy Division]]'s [[Ian Curtis]], were quoted and referenced extensively throughout [[James O'Barr]]'s comic book series ''[[The Crow]]'', which, like Gaiman's ''Sandman'', also first appeared on shelves in 1989. One issue of ''The Crow'' dedicated an entire page to reprinting the lyrics from the Cure song "[[The Hanging Garden (song)|The Hanging Garden]]", and O'Barr said that he was listening a lot to the Cure's early albums such as ''Seventeen Seconds'' and ''Faith'' while he was writing the story. O'Barr has downplayed the influence of Robert Smith on the main character [[Eric Draven]]'s physical appearance, saying that "the idea that the look has been inspired by him has really been overblown" and that the visual aspect of the character owed more to [[Peter Murphy (musician)|Peter Murphy]] and [[Iggy Pop]].<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Arlene R. |last=Weiss |url=http://guitarinternational.com/2011/10/04/interview-with-the-crow-author-artist-musician-james-obarr-let-the-picture-tell-the-story |title=Let The Picture Tell The Story" (Interview With "The Crow" Author, Artist, Musician James O'Barr) |magazine=Guitar International |date=September 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121031141605/http://guitarinternational.com/2011/10/04/interview-with-the-crow-author-artist-musician-james-obarr-let-the-picture-tell-the-story/ |archive-date=31 October 2012 |access-date=19 October 2012}}</ref> Smith said that the song "Burn", the Cure's contribution to the [[The Crow (1994 film)|1994 film adaptation]]'s [[The Crow (soundtrack)|soundtrack]], was deliberately written and performed in the style of "The Hanging Garden".<ref>"Questions & Answers", ''Cure News 15'', September 1994.</ref>
