      The goal of this paper is to present new example of Zariski pairs which are not distinguished by the Alexander polynomial. We develop some technique to compute the fundamental group of the complement of the curve in order to find different topological invariants of the members of the pair. We find examples of Zariski pairs where all the irreducible components are rational curves. Finally, we relate these examples with the embedded topological type of the associated superisolated germs of surfaces.
