Big Time Rush in Bluewater's FAME Series

NICKELODEON'S TEEN PHENOMENON “BIG TIME RUSH” GETS THE COMIC BOOK TREATMENT IN AUGUST

Bluewater is pleased to announce a special graphic novel featuring the Nickelodeon phenomenon that is sweeping the nation's youth. Of course, we're talking about the boy band that includes Lendall, Logan, Carlos and James.

“FAME: Big Time Rush: The Graphic Novel” will be released in August and have a cover price of $7.99. The biography on the ascension of the boy band is written by CW Cooke and drawn by Erick Orlando Baez.

“We're excited to bring this book to the table,” said Publisher Darren G. Davis. “Our 'FAME' line has done extremely well with the tween generation. Parents are getting these biography comic books to help their kids learn about their icons in a different medium. School and libraries love these biography comic books because of reluctant readers are gravitating to them and reading.

This 40-page graphic novel will be chronicling this saga, “FAME: Big Time Rush: The Graphic Novel ” will explore all sides of this incredibly popular group, from their childhoods to the huge successes they are today.

"Nickelodeon has been a staple of television for so long that we forget how important it is to children as they grow up”, says writer CW Cooke. “”Big Time Rush” gives boys and girls teenage role models that they can look up to without their parents being scared for them."

“Well, I have to say the book was great fun,” says artist Erick Orlando Baez, because I have always worked on the Italian-styled layouts, which is rather strict, consisting usually of six panels per page. Having all this freedom from Bluewater has been both exciting and somewhat scary. I hope I managed to do a good job. The subject, instead, was rather descriptive, and I'm used to that, so I think I got into it quickly enough.”

Join Bluewater Productions as we examine the amazing journey of “Big Time Rush” and how they became one of the ultimate American phenomenons.

Also in stores from the “FAME” biography comic book series is Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Beyonce.

To pre-order the "FAME: Big Time Rush: The Graphic Novel” go to your local comic book shop, Barnes & Noble and amazon.com. To Pre-order it on Amazon click here: http://amzn.to/m5TxsB

Bluewater's Stephen King Biocomic Now in Stores

STEPHEN KING'S NEW COMIC BOOK BIOGRAPHY ” IN STORES JUNE 22nd.

Author Stephen King, the best-selling master of horror who has terrified a generation with his nightmarish imagination, helps give voice to his own tale in a special edition of Bluewater Productions' latest biography comic title “Orbit; Stephen King”. The comic book will will hit comic shops and online retailers on June 22nd. The 32-page comic retails for $3.99.

The book, which is by Michael Lent and Brian McCarthy and penciled by Kent Hurlburt and an amazing cover by Micha_ Szyksznian. To find a comic book store near you go to http://www.comicshoplocator.com/. The comic book will also be available at Barnes & Noble as well as Amazon.

Co-author Michael Lent says: “One story we confirmed concerned a young King witnessing a friend's accident involving a train (long thought to be a source of his macabre inspirations). Until now, the story was largely apocryphal and wasn't mentioned in King's autobiography. It's a great feeling when you can resolve something once and for all.”

“Orbit: Stephen King,” follows King's career from a struggling writer to prolific best-selling author. It includes insight on his legacy as a writer, his love of the Boston Red Sox, forays into film, drug and alcohol issues, and the accident that nearly cost him his life.

In writing about his near-death in 1999, the authors used King's own account along with police reports that differed from accounts given by some of the media, according to Lent.

“What really enlightened us were the similarities we found between Stephen King and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Both came from dirt-poor families. Both had talents that were shepherded by strong, supportive mothers. Both had absent fathers. Each practiced doggedly every day -- their talents weren't hobbies, but their salvation. It brought them fame and fortune, it sustained them during their darkest hours of drug addiction and it, literally, gave them both a road to recovery when their lives were nearly cut short in tragic accidents,” added co-author Brian McCarthy.

“Orbit” was launched in April 2011 with a focused skew towards a more male demographic. “When we weighed the possibilities of featuring personalities like King, Howard Stern, LeBron James, Gary Gygax and JRR Tolkien into our existing titles, the tone and tenor didn't match. Their enduring popularity and contributions to popular culture are worthy of coverage, but they needed a different voice in which to present the material. 'Orbit' fits that bill”. The biographies have been featured on CNN, The Tonight Show, Entertainment Tonight, FOX News and more.

Bluewater Productions Announces Superhero Line

THE NEXT WAVE OF HEROES TO STRIKE BLUEWATER UNDER NEW BANNER

This Fall Bluewater Productions brings you a brand new world of superheroes. Art Director Gregg Paulson (Judo Girl, Paparazzi) and Line Editor AE Stueve (The Legend of Isis, The ABCs of Dinkology), along with a slew of artists and writers, are launching The Wave #0, Bluewater Productions' take on a shared universe. The line starts with The Wave #0 and leads into four four-issue mini-series revolving around mythological heroes and gods in modern times.

Bluewater intends to grab the serious attention of superhero fans. Though you've heard the names before, this is a brand new take, brand new concept, and brand new world. The upcoming titles include Artemis, Orion, Hercules, and Trident: The Power of Poseidon. Are you ready for The Wave?

"These comics will show the world that Bluewater Productions is not just about biography and property comics, but it can produce well written, beautifully drawn superhero stories as well. I think what the coolest thing though is that we are using the 'shared universe' formula familiar to fans of Marvel and DC, but right now we don't have a convoluted back-story of characters who, in some cases, have been around for nearly 100 years. That's not to say that it wouldn't be cool to create characters that are so awesome that in nearly 100 years the universe they share will be a convoluted mess. Because that would be cool. But hey, why not mention in our PR announcement one of the best advantages we've got over several other superhero comics these days?" --AE Stueve, line editor/writer Orion

Bluewater was founded on creating updated versions of different types of mythological characters such as 10th Muse (which launched at the 6th highest selling comic book) and Legend of Isis and Atlas ten years ago. “This is just another branch of books we are doing,” said Bluewater President Darren G. Davis. “As a kid I was fond of mythology, so I am excited to see what they are going to do with it.”

Green Lantern's Ryan Reynolds Gets a Comic Book Bio

GREEN LANTERN’S “SECRET IDENTITY” RYAN REYNOLDS POWERS OWN COMIC BOOK BIO

 

Catapulted from obscure roles and modest television credits to one of Hollywood’s reigning male “A” list stars, Ryan Reynolds is making a star turn in an upcoming Bluewater Productions biography comic book based on his life and career.

Scheduled for an May 2011 release, “Fame: Ryan Reynolds” follows the actor from his up and coming days in Canada through his 2002 breakthrough role in “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder” to his ascendancy to leading man status in such films as “The Proposal” and the upcoming super hero blockbuster “Green Lantern.”

“Ryan Reynolds is one of those rare actors who appeals to both men and women. Women love him for his obvious good looks and charm, but his humor and action role turns is what bring in the men. It's no wonder he's headlining one of the hottest films of the summer,” said writer Mark Poulton. “He’s definitely proving himself to be a force at the box office.”

Poulton, the creator of Koni Waves, teams up with fellow Koni Waves artist Dexter Weeks to showcase People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2010 in a standard 32-page issue.

“Mark and Dexter have such a strong partnership going with their own book, that their cohesion gave the Reynolds book a great flow of word and art,” said Bluewater president Darren Davis.

The issue retails for $3.99. It will be available through local comic book stores and several online venues including Amazon.com and the Barnes and Noble and Borders online stores. It is scheduled to be released two weeks before the U.S. premiere of Reynold’s latest movie, “Green Lantern.”

The “Fame” series was launched earlier in 2010 as a companion piece to the successful “Female Force” and “Political Power” biography titles. The comic allows Bluewater to delve into the celebrity culture and understand how a person rises to fame, deals with the new-found celebrity and continue to produce in the public eye. That includes actors, sports figures, recording artists and royals.

Ayn Rand Joins Female Force

AYN RAND’S ENDURING IMPACT CENTERPIECE OF NEW FEMALE FORCE BIOGRAPHY COMIC

 

As her philosophies continue to resonate in modern political thought and academic debate, Any Rand’s enduring impact serves as the centerpiece for an upcoming biography comic book from Bluewater Productions featuring her life and legacy.

“Female Force: Ayn Rand,” scheduled for release in May, provides an entertaining yet scholarly look at the author of such seminal works as “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged.” Even 30 years after her death, her sales of her books continue to sell in the hundreds of thousands each year.

"When the American economy went into a nose dive recently what did we all turn to? Did we dig out battered old Econ 101 text books? Did we turn to the writings of some aged Ivy League professor? NO! Instead we dusted off or repurchased ‘The Fountainhead’ and ‘Atlas Shrugged’ those great classic American novels by Russian immigrant Ayn Rand which deal so brilliantly with the fundamentals of a free and prosperous society of responsible individuals,” said author John Blundell.

Blundell, author of “Margaret Thatcher: A Portrait of the Iron Lady” as well as Bluewater’s Thatcher bio comic, and formerly the Director General of the Institute of Economic Affairs in London, emphasizes the relevancy and potency of Rand’s Objectivism ideas in 21st century America.

According to Blundell her philosophy can be heard in the language of the Tea Party movement and felt as a constant guiding force behind the Federal Reserve Board. To some her Objectivist principles are the foundation of the American ideal of personal freedom, self-reliance and free market capitalism, while other dismiss it as selfish and unsound.

“To date our biography comics feature very few public figures that have passed on, but Ayn Rand’s influence on American culture is indelible,” said Bluewater president Darren Davis, who also noted that the Vancouver, WA-based publisher is working with the Ayn Rand Foundation on the title. “And that is exactly what the Female Force line of comics tries to promote.”

“Female Force: Ayn Rand,” penciled by Todd Tenant, who also provided the cover art, will retail for $3.99 and be available through most online venues like Amazon.com as well as local comic book stores.

The Black Eyed Peas Get Bluewater Comics' "Fame" Treatment

BLUEWATER BRINGS THE BLACK EYED PEAS TO THE COMIC PAGES

 

The Black Eyed Peas made history in 2009 when its singles I Gotta Feeling and Boom Boom Pow held the top two spots in the Billboard Hot 100. Only 11 artists, including the Peas, have managed this feat in the Hot 100's history.

The Black Eyed Peas will make history of a different sort this February. That's when Bluewater Productions will ship its latest comic, Fame: The Black Eyed Peas to comic shops and online retailers across the country.

The Peas will become the latest artists to hit the pages of a Bluewater-produced comic. The company's Fame series, which profiles the biggest of celebrities and artists, has already featured biographies of Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, David Beckham and Taylor Swift.

The Black Eyed Peas comic will trace the history of one of the country's most popular bands from its humble roots all the way to its Grammy winning successes. Along the way, readers will discover a variety of previously unknown facts about the talented musicians that make up the Peas.

“It was impossible to get away from the Black Eyed Peas in the last two years,” said Darren Davis, publisher and founder of Bluewater Productions. “This group is exactly the kind of band we want to showcase in our Fame series, one that has captured the attention of the country. This comic does a tremendous job of showcasing the band's rise, and should provide plenty of new information for even the most devoted of its fans.”

M. Zachary Sherman wrote the script for Fame: The Black Eyed Peas, while Kristopher Smith handled the pencils. Smith also contributed one of the books' two covers.

The suggested retail price (SRP) for the comic book is $3.99. To find a comic book store near you go to http://www.comicshoplocator.com/. The comic will also be on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/gbHYHu

Bluewater Productions, one of the country's leading independent comics publishers, has gained its own brand of fame for its series of biography comics, Fame, Female Force and Political Power. The company, though, also produces a line of fiction comics, including such critically acclaimed series as Insane Jane, Nanny & Hank and Styx & Stone.

Self-Professed Rodeo Clown is the Subject of Bluewater's Last "Political Power"

BLUEWATER BRINGS GLENN BECK'S SUCCESS STORY TO COMIC BOOKS

 

Love him or hate him, you can't deny that Glenn Beck is a major success story.

 

From his roots as a teen disc jockey to his position of influence today, Glenn Beck has taken an amazing journey through the world of the mass media. As a commentator and host on FOX News Channel and as the broadcaster behind his own nationally syndicated talk-radio show, Beck has become a leading voice of the country's Conservative and Evangelical movements.

 

Now Beck is taking yet another leap: He's set to star in his won biography comic from independent comics company Bluewater Productions.

Political Power: Glenn Beck will hit comic shops and online retailers in February. The 32-page comic retails for $3.99.

Jerome Maida, a frequent author of Bluewater's bio comics, wrote the script for Political Power: Glenn Beck. Mark Sparacio, a veteran artist who has worked with both Marvel Comics and DC Comics, provided the cover art for this comic. The interior art is being done by Aleksandar Bozic who also worked on the "Political Power: Bill O'Reilly" comic book.

Maida said that Beck was an “irresistible figure to write”.

“We all know how successful, powerful and influential he is today. What I was interested in was what made him that way”, said Maida. “Here is someone who was so supremely talented he was working in radio and winning fans since he was 13. At the same time, he has had a very troubled and tragic life. So it was fascinating detailing how he overcame that to get to where he is today.”

“It's not a typical sad story because in the end the bio reveals that the prevailing theme in Glenn's life is redemption. Which I feel those on either side of the political aisle will find compelling”, said Maida.

Bluewater president and founder Darren Davis said that Beck is the perfect subject for a comic biography: He's a figure who's risen from obscurity to challenge such talk-show icons as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly for media supremacy.

“We try to focus on figures that bring out a lot of passion for our biographies,” Davis said. “Glenn Beck certainly does that. Whether you like his politics or you find them reprehensible, you most certainly have an opinion about him. I'm sure a lot of readers will want to know how the Glenn Beck surge got its start. This comic will show them.”

Bluewater's biography comics have been covered by such mainstream media outlets as the Washington Post, New York Times and Forbes Magazine. By covering such celebrities and political leaders as Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie, Sarah Palin and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Bluewater is bringing new readers to the comics world.

The company produces three lines of biography comics: Female Force, Political Power and Fame. Each line has produced comics that have sold out of their original runs at a time in which independent comics companies are struggling to gain an audience.

To pre-order the “Political Power: Glenn Beck” comic go to your local comic book store or you can order it online at TFAW here http://bit.ly/e2VaJH

In stores in January is “Political Power: Bill O'Reilly” and can be pre-ordered here: http://bit.ly/fACXsS

Angelina Jolie the Latest Subject of "Female Force"

BLUEWATER TACKLES THE COMPLICATED LIFE OF ANGELINA JOLIE

 

Movie star. Defender of human rights. Tireless mother. Tabloid fodder. All of these describe Angelina Jolie. Yet not one of them paints a complete picture of this talented and often controversial actress.

Independent comics company Bluewater Productions will do its part to fill in the blanks surrounding Jolie's life when the publisher debuts its latest biography comic this January, Female Force: Angelina Jolie.

The 32-page comic, written by Brent Sprecher with pencils by Nuno Nobre, will be available in comic shops and from online retailers such as Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. The comic will retail for $3.99.

Female Force offers a broad examination of strong women in our society. Past issues include Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, Oprah and Hillary Clinton.

Writer Sprecher says that even long-time fans of Jolie's work will be surprised at what they learn about the talented actress. “I learned a great deal about her struggles and triumphs as an award-winning actress, mother and humanitarian,” Sprecher said. “Often painted as an edgy, slightly dangerous movie star, what is often not revealed about Ms. Jolie is her tireless commitment to charity work and her dedication to the plight of refugees around the world as a Goodwill Ambassador with the United Nations.”

Bluewater Productions is no stranger to biography comics. The company, which publishes the Political Power, Fame and Female Force series of biography comics, has made headlines for its features on such personalities as Lady Gaga, Sarah Palin, Justin Bieber and J.K. Rowling. The company plans to release future comics on Danica Patrick, Beyonce, Bill O'Reilly and Betty White.

Bluewater president and founder Darren G. Davis says that he has a simple goal with his company's bio comics: introduce a new generation of readers to the wonders of sequential storytelling.

“We're focusing our biography titles on the most intriguing celebrities, world leaders and artists,” Davis said. “This is by design. We want to bring new fans to comics. One way to do this is to publish biographies on celebrities that already have strong and dedicated fan bases.”

For his part, Sprecher hopes that his contribution to the Female Force lineup will shed some new light on an often misunderstood actress.

“My hope is that this biography, in some small way, inspires others to follow Angelina Jolie's example and make helping those in need a part of their daily lives,” Sprecher said.

Bluewater Productions is a leading independent publisher of comics. In addition to its biography comics, the company publishes a full line of fiction stories, everything from superhero tales to young adult comics to mysteries and science fiction.

Bluewater Publishes Danica Patrick Bio Comic Book in December

BLUEWATER REACHES TO NASCAR NATION WITH DANICA PATRICK COMIC

 

Bluewater Productions has already brought new readers to sequential storytelling with its Political Power, Female Force and Fame comic book series. Now the independent comics company is reaching out to the members of NASCAR nation with its latest comic: Fame: Danica Patrick.

Bluewater's latest biography comic traces Patrick's rise through the male-dominated ranks of auto racing. It also explores the fascination that the public has with Patrick.

Writer CW Cooke, who has also penned Bluewater's top-selling Taylor Swift biography comic, said that even the most devoted of fans will learn something new about Patrick after reading this book.

“We've all seen the pictures and heard the gossip about her,” Cooke said. “But digging into her story and learning about her really focused me on the fact that she's a real person and not just a pin-up model or a one-note person.”

Cooke hasn't created a white-washed version of Patrick's NASCAR performances, either. The comic covers the critics who say that Patrick hasn't had enough success on the track to deserve all the attention that she gets.

Fame: Danica Patrick will hit comic book shops and online retailers like Amazon in December. The 32-page comic will retail for $3.99.

Artist Valerio Giangiordano handled the art for Patrick's story. Cooke, who was thrilled when he received his sample pages, said that fans won't be disappointed in the job that Giangiordano turned in.

“I just can't wait until you get to see this,” Cooke said. “The art was knocked out of the park on this one. One word breathless”

Darren G. Davis, publisher and founder of Bluewater Productions, said that the company's biography comics, which have generated reams of coverage from mainstream media, have brought a new stream of readers to the world of comic-book storytelling.

Davis said he expects that to continue with the introduction of the Patrick comic.

“I don't know how many Danica Patrick fans are already into comics, but I hope that Fame: Danica Patrick will show NASCAR nation that reading comics can be extremely entertaining,” Davis said. “I'm proud that we are helping to increase the number of comic fans. We all know that the industry needs new readers to truly thrive.”

Bluewater's 1st sports icon to be transformed into a comic book is David Beckham which will be in stores October 13.

Bluewater Productions is one of the leading independent comics companies in the country. In addition to its line of biography comics, the company publishes a series of science-fiction, horror, superhero, young-adult and drama comics.

Bluewater's Mark Zuckerberg Comic Optioned as a Film

“MARK ZUKERBERG: CREATOR OF FACEBOOK” COMIC BOOK OPTIONED AS AN FILM

 

Hayden 5 Media and Bluewater Productions team up to create the animated film based off the comic book for Mark Zuckerburg: Creator of Facebook.

“When we found out that Bluewater was releasing this comic, we knew we had to get on board,” says Todd Wiseman, President of Hayden 5 Media. “We saw a great opportunity to re-tell the story of Mark Zuckerburg post Social Network in a brighter, animated form that could be enjoyed and understood by a broader audience.”

Much like the technique used in the film A Scanner Darkly, the production of Mark Zuckerburg and The Found will begin with live action filmmaking in a digital medium, followed by the use of interpolated rotoscope. The result will be a cross between real characters and animated surroundings seamlessly integrated for a unique, comic book aesthetic.

The comic book is written by Jerome Maida and drawn by Fritz Saalfeld. It is described as the brains and driving force behind Facebook Mark Zuckerberg has become the youngest billionaire in the history of the planet. As this comic reveals, the road for the success for both his creation and him personally was not preordained nor was it always a smooth ride. He would be tempted with unimaginable amounts of money and have to deal harshly with people along the way - many of whom would later feel betrayed. Read how a young man's frustration with women helped spark an idea that would have him dating Victoria's secret models and how socially inept young man wound up creating a company that has revolutionized the way hundreds of millions of people all over the globe socialize with each other.

The comic book hits stores in late December. The suggested retail price (SRP) for the upcoming comic book is $6.99. To make sure you get your copy, contact your local comic book store to pre-order it. To find a comic book store near you go to www.comicshoplocator.com. The comic can be ordered online by clicking here: http://bit.ly/c2IkZN

“This will not be the last retelling of the Marc Zuckerburg story,” says Milos Silber, Executive Producer at Hayden 5 Media. “We're just aware of the profound impact of Facebook, and with over 500 million users, we're bound to have an audience. One that is more willing to watch a shortened, visually captivating summary of this short epic online, or on their favorite network.”

While Hayden 5 Media predicts the film will bring back the same audience intrigued by Social Network, Marc Zuckerburg and The Found will shed new light on the controversial story of the creators life and bring a completely new look and feel than that of the feature film.

Bluewater Productions publishes a wide range of comics, from superheroes to horror to children's tales to its much-discussed line of biography comics. Past biography comics from Bluewater have focused on the lives of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Bush, Betty White, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

Female Force Returns to Sarah Palin

SARAH PALIN RETURNS TO BLUEWATER'S PAGES IN NEW COMIC BOOK

 

Bluewater Productions made headlines in 2008 when its Sara Palin biography comic sold out. Now Palin is returning to Bluewater with a sequel.

 

Female Force: Sarah Palin, Act 2 focuses on Palin's life after the 2008 presidential elections. The book examines the reasons behind Palin's increasing celebrity, and the threat that she might pose to both Democrats and mainstream Republicans should she decide to run in 2012.

“You can't help but admire Sarah Palin for her tenacity and her ability to find the spotlight wherever she goes,” says Dan Rafter, the writer behind Female Force: Sarah Palin, Act 2. “The reaction she received for her big Tea Party speech is just one example of the passion that Palin ignites in her fans. It's hard for me to imagine someone like Mitt Romney generating that kind of electricity.”

Female Force: Sarah Palin, Act 2 will be available at comic shops and from online retailers such as Amazon.com in December. The 32-page issue features interior art from Nathan Carson.

Darren G. Davis, president and founder of Bluewater Productions, said that only a small number of the celebrities and politicians that the comics company has profiled merit sequels. Singer Lady Gaga will join Palin in getting her sequel later this year.

“You just can't ignore Sarah Palin,” Davis said. “Even those who'd never vote for her can't deny that the woman has an amazing charisma. She can get away with missteps that other politicians can't afford to make.”

As an example, the Bluewater comic references the speech in which Palin had jotted notes on her palm. Her critics savaged her. But Palin, much like Ronald Reagan did throughout his political career, used humor to turn a potential mistake into a victory when she showed up at a later speech with the words “Hi, Mom” written on her palm.

Bluewater Productions has generated a steady stream of press for its biography comics. These often controversial works have gotten Bluewater's name into everything from the New York Times to USA Today.

The comic company's biography titles, carried under the Female Force, Political Power and Fame banners, are not the only comics that Bluewater produces. The company also publishes superhero, science fiction, horror and young adult comics. Many of these comics, including Nanny & Hank, a tale of elderly vampires, have received critical raves.

"Female Force: Sarah Palin: The Sequel" can currently be ordered at bookstores and comic book shops. To find a comic book store near you go to http://www.comicshoplocator.com/. It is also available online on Amazon by clicking here: http://amzn.to/dlhvsk. It retails for $3.99 a copy and hits shelves in December.

Also being released this week is a comic book biography called “First Families: The Clintons”. This special edition comic book featuring the first family biographies is now together for the first time in this 48-page one shot.

Both the Female Force and Political Power biography comic book series strive to present even-handed stories of prominent individuals responsible for shaping the political and cultural landscape.

Beyonce Subject of Bluewater's "Fame" Series

SHE'S ALREADY A STAR, NOW BEYONCE'S A COMIC-BOOK HERO

 

She's already a chart-topper. She's married to rap royalty. She's an actress. Now Beyonce will add one more feat to her already impressive resume: She's set to become a comic-book hero.

 

Bluewater Comics this January will send its latest biography comic, Fame: Beyonce, to comic-book shops across the country. Readers will also be able to order the comic directly from online retailers such as Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

The comic, written by CW Cooke and featuring pencils by Alex Lopez, will trace Beyonce's rise through the music business, from her early days with Destiny's Child to her booming solo career.

The 32-page comic will retail for $3.99. To make sure you get your copy, contact your local comic book store to pre-order it. To find a comic book store near you go to www.comicshoplocator.com. The comic will also be on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/9XFRwo

According to writer CW Cooke, for a person seemingly always in the public eye, Beyonce has led a relatively private life. Even the most avid Beyonce fan, then, will learn something new when reading Fame: Beyonce, Cooke said.

“Working on Beyonce was quite an experience,” Cooke said. “Everybody knows who she is. And yet, there are so many little things and tidbits of knowledge that seem to be passed up when people talk about her in the media.

“Getting to dive into her story and piece together her life was exciting,” Cooke added. “She's accomplished so much in so little time. She's had so many ups and so few downs. Telling her story wasn't so much of a roller coaster, but more of an exciting elevator ride.”

Darren Davis, publisher and founder of Bluewater Productions, said that he hopes the Beyonce comic will again draw new readers to the world of comics storytelling.

“Beyonce is such an amazingly charismatic presence,” Davis said. “She has so many fans. Hopefully many of them will pick up this comic, enjoy what they see and go on to become regular comics readers. The comics industry needs new readers. I hope that Bluewater's biography comics can bring them in.”

Bluewater Productions, one of the country's leading independent comics companies, publishes a wide range of comics each month. The company is known for its biography comics, and has enjoyed big success with comics based on the lives of Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin and Taylor Swift. The company, though, also publishes science fiction, horror, young-adult and superhero comics.
