FAME: Beyonce
Quote:
Official solicit text:
SHE'S ALREADY A STAR, NOW BEYONCE'S A COMIC-BOOK HERO
She¹s already a chart-topper. She¹s married to rap royalty. She¹s an
actress. Now Beyonce will add one more feat to her already impressive
resume: She¹s 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
Barnes and Noble.com.
The comic, written by CW Cooke and featuring pencils by Alex Lopez, will
trace Beyonce¹s rise through the music business, from her early days with
Destiny¹s 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.
³Working on Beyonce was quite an experience,² Cooke said. ³Everybody 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.
³Getting to dive into her story and piece together her life was exciting,²
Cooke added. ³She¹s accomplished so much in so little time. She¹s had so
many ups and so few downs. Telling her story wasn¹t so much of a roller
coaster, but more of an exciting elevator ride.²
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.
³Beyonce is such an amazingly charismatic presence,² Davis said. ³She 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 Bluewater¹s biography comics can bring them in.²
Bluewater Productions, one of the country¹s 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.

Doesn't Taylor Swift already have two of these?
I'm not much interested but it is a cute idea. The character looks nothing like her at all, she should be wearing some hot leotard with big hair and bedroom eyes. Shame on the artist.
These have been successful so it's about time Bey got one.
But the Austin P at the bottom is awesome. Return of Foxy Cleopatra please.
