J.K. Rowling to be the subject of a comic book
MTV is reporting today that Bluewater Productions, the company behind the Barack Obama, Stephenie Meyer, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jackson comic books, will be releasing a comic book based on the life of J.K. Rowling.The comic, written by Adam Gragg examines Rowling’s middle class upbringing, her time in Portugal teaching English, her meteoric rise with seven immensely successful books adapted into several high-grossing Hollywood blockbusters, and her post-Potter endeavors.
“She is a remarkable and multi-dimensional woman,’” Gragg noted, “Learning about who she is and how she struggled to become a success was a truly enlightening experience. Twelve publishers turned her down. If it weren’t for the daughter of a British publisher who liked Rowling’s first chapter of ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, we might never have met Harry Potter.”

Hmmm...interesting??
I love how those twelve publishers are all kicking themselves so hard their butts are hamburger!
Awesome! I can't wait to buy it. It's pretty cheap...only 6 dollars.
Really!? Seriously? Ok, I guess I won't knock it till I've seen it. I haven't heard of these political and social figure comic books. Huh.
Since the publisher's daughter really liked the first part of SS, it would have been really nice for her to have been in some of the films. Perhaps she is and we don't know it. In any case, hurray for her reading and liking the story.
...Interesting concept, I suppose...
That is a bit odd...but I shall give it a go! Is it going to be sold on Amazon?
Can i buy this is England??? IT sounds great... i must have everything harry potter related!
I hope I can buy that book here in Portugal! I really really want to! :DD I think that Jo's life on a comic should be very interesting! Oh, but I HOPE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART That I can buy that in Portugal! Kisses.
You're JOKING!!! Can't wait to get my hands on this!!!
Hmm.. sounds kind of.. not good? I dunno.
im so getting this!!! lol female FORCE!!!
NOW THAT's an UGLY cover!!!! should win a Pullitzer price for EyeSoreness.I've seen some pretty bad designs for covers in my life, but this wins.
weird but cool. at first i was like "what?" but now i want to buy it!
O..kay. Nice. I will be buying it..I guess?
That's rather ridiculous...
Well, this is a huge surprise...and a good one at that! I'm so going to get my hands on the collector's edition. The background was overwhelming, but at least J.K. Rowling looked great! Josh Labello did her justice.
Is it just me or does she look older in those pictures???
