The Sienfeld episode where he explaines the concept of Bizarro to Elaine and she ends up hanging out with  the Buzarro versions of Jerry George and Kramer is an all time classic.

Quentin Tarantino - wrote the whole 'Kirby Silver Surfer' scene in the Crimson Tide, and of course Clarence in True Romance works in a comics shop. Of course Tarantino is pretty much into every media going so its not that surprising.

I think I read somewhere that Ron Pearlman was a fan of Hellboy before he got the gig.

Ringo Star is a huge Felix the Cat fan.

What?  He's famous.

Megadeath,

It probably goes without saying that Peter "Lord of The Goddamn Rings" Jackson is a comics fan.

Personally, he should have stuck to stuff like Braindead and Bad Taste. They were proper movies.

I think there's some stuff on Tarentino's love of comics on his commentry on the True Romance dvd... I'll check it out later

Don Cheadle wrote a blurb for the back of Scott Morse's "Barefoot Serpent". So I'm assuming he's, at least, a fan of Morse's comics.

[Megadeth]

I remembered a really obvious one, the band Antrax are huge comic fans and big Dredd fans. There's actually a song on the album Among The Living about Dredd, it's called I am the Law.
