Comics News: Bluewater to Release Upcoming Bio Comics

Bluewater is releasing images of some upcoming biography comic books from their Female Force, Political Power and Tribute lines.  
 
Female Force: Farrah Abraham – The Backdoor Teen Mom
writer: Alan Smithee
Artist: Vincent Monet 
Mother at 17, reality star by 18, sec tapes at 19…Farrah Abraham has opened up the back door and joined the celebrity pantheon of such luminaries as Octomom, Jon and Kate and Juan Pablos Galavis. This former Omaha, Nebraska cheerleader is a true female force as she ascends up the ladder as a multi-media impresario and pornography juggernaut


 

Tribute: Charles Nelson Reilly
writer: Alan Smithee
Artist: Vincent Monet 
The center square is featured in the new biography series featuring icons of the yesteryear.  
The glasses, The laugh, the scarf…who could forget the star turn as the evil magician Hoodoo in Sid and Marty Kroft’s Lidsville or his pithy, half-inebriated quips as the dean of the gameshow Match Game. Charles Nelson Reilly knew no rivals. From the Great White Way to Hollywood Boulevard,  CNR was more than a consummate professional, more than a survivor, more than an opera buff, he was the bar all Fantasy Island guest stars strive to achieve.
Political Power: Rob Ford
writer: Alan Smithee
Artist: Vincent Monet 
When compared to other politicians, at least you know what you get with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford…a loud, brash, crass, stoned, drunk, clownish, deluded chief executive of a major metropolitan North American city. Recently making headlines with his drug and alcohol-fueled escapades, Ford has consolidated his political clout into an international joke. But somehow through it all; through the lies, diversions , obfuscations and really ugly ties, is a gentle, thoughtful man who truly believes Canada, and in particular the beautiful city of Toronto, are a bunch of idiots who just might vote him into office again.

Comic News : Bruce Lee tribute told in comic book form


Bluewater Productions is releasing a new comic book biography on the legendary Bruce Lee.   This is a co-production with Able Productions.  Tribute: Bruce Lee Wednesday, Nov 6, 2013. The comic book is being released for his birthday later this month. 

Actor, teacher, philosopher, icon, these are just a few of the words that describe the most influential martial artist of all time: Bruce Lee. Immortal Dragon: Bruce Lee follows Bruce's life from his infancy starting out as a child actor to his tragic death and posthumous superstardom.

The 32-page comic book, written by Chris Canibano, illustrated by Korean artist Joon Hanwith.

“I found it very rewarding to work on the book and fascinating to find out things about his childhood acting that I had not known. I have been a fan of Bruce's since I saw his movies as a child, and it was a treat to get to spend time researching his life. He continues to inspire millions of people to this very day, with his quotes on life and his groundbreaking martial arts style,” said writer Chris Canibano.

This is the 2nd time that Bluewater has co-produced a biography comic book with the South Korean company “Able”.

The Tribute line of comic books tells the stories of the classic entertainers that have passed on,” says Bluewater publisher, Darren G. Davis “It is a way for us to honor these people who have made a difference in the world.

Previous subjects that have been featured in the “Tribute” line include Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Capra, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.
