Rob has a comic book!

Yay! Rob now has his own comic book!

Bluewater Productions is coming up with FAME, a celebrity biography comic series. Lady Gaga has one, and now, so does Rob!

Check out the new cover, after the jump (the one above is much hotter, IMO...)


Here's the alternate cover:

There's a preview page up on MTV's page, but it's still incomplete. Also check out the press release.


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.
