Actress, Kristen Stewart, became a celebrity the moment she signed-on to play Bella, the love interest of vampire-with-a-soul, Edward, in the Twilight series of vampire/romance movies based on the popular novels of the same name. Now Stewart is the newest star of Bluewater Productions' Fame series of biography comics coming in June.But Stewart was acting long before Twilight, and most of her work hasn't involved vampires or werewolves. In fact, anyone who has watched the coming-of-age dramedy, Adventureland, knows just how powerful of an actress Stewart is.
Fame brings to life, in graphic form, the stories of the world's biggest celebrities. The series premieres in May and covers the life stories of Lady GaGa and Robert Pattinson. Future editions will include the stories of Taylor Swift and soccer sensation, David Beckham. Writer Kim Sherman, who has also penned Bluewaters' Robert Pattinson entry in the series, said that Stewart's versatility and talent might surprise readers who only know her as Bella.
"For Twilight fans, Kristen Stewart is a woman whom fans long to be and love to hate," Sherman said. "But Kristen has been in the public eye for years, and her career as a serious actor spans dozens of films over a 10-year period. My goal with this biography was to show readers the depth residing in this young woman, and the roles she's beautifully tackled through a series of spot shots, pinups, and word art."
Sherman added that the art on this book, provided by renowned artist Warren Martineck, perfectly brings Stewart's story to life. "Well-known artist Warren Martineck, of Marvel and DC fame, takes my script and provides an amazing viewpoint of the beauty, the grit, and the individuality which defines Miss Stewart," Sherman said.
The 32-page comic book, Fame: Kristen Stewart will be available in June, and will retail for $3.99. Two covers will be available: cover A, by Juanmar Studios which attaches like a puzzle to the FAME: Robert Pattinson issue. Cover B is done by famed comic book artist Randy Green of X-men and Witchblade.
Bluewater Productions has become well-known for its biography comics. In addition to its Fame series, the company also publishes both the Female Force and Political Power lines of biography comics. "I look at every one of our biography comics as a way to lead a new group of readers to the world of graphic storytelling," said Darren G. Davis, president of Bluewater Productions. "I have little doubt that Kristen Stewart's biography will accomplish this."
