Actors in comic books?

Do you think it's weird that characters played by actors years ago are being drawn into modern comic books?

Like with Angel/Buffy comics; after 2004, both shows were cancelled. And now, nearly 4-5 years later, the actors' characters are being inked. And they're being drawn the way they looked 4-5 years ago, to keep up the continuity. Which means the cartoonists have to watch old epies so they can get the facial/body features right.

If I was an bit-actor on a popular show, or even a big-actor, I would never expect that years from now people would be drawing my face and putting words in my mouth. Do the actors even get paid for this?

But it's all kindof strange, right?

It is kind of strange but there's been comics based on TV shows and movies for decades.
Back in the 80's Dark Horse Comics couldn't have the main character in the Alien's series, Ripley appear to look like Sigourney Weaver due to likeness rights.

I doubt actors are paid for their likenesses in comics. There isn't enough money in comics to budget for this.
Kevin Smith wrote his own adventures (Jay & Silent Bob) for Oni Press in the late 90's where Jay Mewes and himself appeared in the books.

Rosario Dawson co-created a comic and I believe Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared in another one.
Actor Tom Jane appears as Nick Fury on the cover of a few Punisher Max issues.
I believe they all contribute their images due to their love for the comics medium.
