Rob As A Comic Book????

Millions know English actor Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, the vampire
with a conscience in the films Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the
fantasy/romance movies based on Stephenie Meyer’s famous book series.

But there’s more to Pattinson than fake fangs, faraway looks and tousled
hair. Pattinson is an accomplished musician, a former model and an actor who’s
played both a wizard at Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School and the artist
Salvador Dali.

Bluewater Productions in May will ship FAME: Robert Pattinson to comic book
shops and retailers across the country. This 32-page comic will trace
Pattinson’s career from his first performance in Tess of the D’Urbervilles at
London’s Barnes Theatre to his star turn in the Twilight movies.

Writer Kim Sherman said that she is eager to introduce fans to the many
sides of Pattinson.

“I love having the ability to introduce high-profile people to readers
through an unexpected medium that is both written and visual,” Sherman said. “
These biography comics are designed to illustrate interesting tidbits to fans
about their favorite figureheads, and inspire them to learn more. I chose
to conceptualize A-lister Robert Pattinson from a unique perspective,
immersing the reader into the life of the talented actor beyond his most famous
role.”

Count interior artist Nathaniel Ooten as one reader who’s gained a new
appreciation for Pattinson’s career since reading Sherman’s script.

“Working on this book has opened an entirely new level of Rob Pattinson for
me,” Ooten said. “Before starting, I was only aware of the ‘teenage
vampire’ Pattinson. After reading the script, studying the subject and listening
to his music, I not only became very interested in Pattinson’s future work,
but also discovered a new appreciation for this ‘teenage vampire.’”

Bluewater president Darren G. Davis said that he expects Pattinson’s
biography to be as popular among Twilight fans as was the comic biography of
writer Meyer, which Bluewater published in November of 2009. That particular
biography has sold out of several printings.

“Twilight fans want to know everything about the talented people who have
brought them the story of Edward and Bella,” Davis said. “I’m pleased to be
able to bring them Robert Pattinson’s story. It’s our hope that even the
most devoted fans will discover a fact or two that takes them completely by
surprise.”

FAME: Robert Pattinson is part of Bluewater’s much-publicized, and popular,
line of biographical comics. The FAME series will also include comic
biographies of Lady GaGa, 50 Cent, Tiger Woods and David Beckham. Bluewater
Productions also publishes biographies of influential political figures such as Al
Gore, Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama. Many of these comics, too, have sold
out several printings.
