Soccer superhero David Beckham will be featured in his very own comic book published by Bluewater Productions (who have previously published comic books on First Lady Michelle Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and more) and today we get our first look at the comic book cover and some pages. Here are the 2 covers that will be made available when Fame: David Beckham hits comic book stores this September:
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have already had their lives told through a comic book and now it’s David Beckham’s turn. As Bluewater Productions have taken on the footballer as their next subject of their popular line of “Fame” bio comics, MTV gave the comic preview. “Fame: David Beckham” will arrive on shelves in September. The comic explores Beckham’s life “from his earliest days on the soccer field, when he dreamed of playing for Manchester United, to the challenges of his soccer days in the United States,” the official text of Bluewater’s latest “Fame” announced. Beckham has become the first sport star featured in a Bluewater comic. “Fame: David Beckham” is written by Pete Rogers with art by Pablo Martinena. On the project, Rogers said, “Working on the Beckham book was quite different from any other comic I’ve worked on to date.” “Telling someone’s real life story was quite a challenge, and I tried to find as many ways as possible to ensure that it was visually interesting and not just a case of ‘he did this and then he did that’,” Roger added about “Fame: David Beckham” which retails for $3.99.
Well it’s about damn time! When these Fame comic books started to get published, I thought that David Beckham would be the perfect subject for his own comic book. He’s lived such a colorful life, I always knew his story would be perfect for comic book pages. After the jump, check out some of the pages that will be included in this new David Beckham comic book — trust me, you’re gonna wanna check ‘em out …
