From Bluewater productions via Twilight Poison:
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.
Gozde: Am I the only one who starts thinking of this every time they read "Fame"?

How much money is Rob getting from this? Idk, is this another way for someone to make money of him by telling us THEIR interpretation of Rob? Did he interview him? idk about these comics so i wonder...
@Goz when was the last time I said I love you girl. You travelled me back in time. Lee Carelli my highschool crush, singing for me again and looking as good as new. Thank you big times.
it must be surreal look at a comic version of your life..it is kind of intrusive, poor Rob, i hope at least he is gotten some $$ from this...
Aww, thanks Dina! Fame is a classic :))
@Goz - YES - I think of FAME everytime I read the word 'fame' - lol! ;)
Gwen likes comics, always has. And Rob, yeah, still hot. Like the scruffy face!!!
Besides, anime helped bring lemony good times into the mainstream. And aren't we all thankful for that? Yeah, thought so!
LOL, anyone remember Elfquest? Love the irony of a graphic Graphic Novel...
Wonder if Comicbook Rob is drawn Shirtless?
OK, so they drew the cover picture from a photo, & picked one that was reversed? Nobody noticed that his nose is wrong? That says a lot for how many "facts" are in this thing.
Do they have to pay Rob for this? Or is it like when somebody does an unauthorized biography?
Not a good depiction of Rob at all.
Doesn't do him justice.
I used to sing the Fame theme song (which has some higher ranges, plus I'm not a great singer)and my cat would come straight up to my face and paw me on the mouth when the pitch got higher. It was hilarious! And yes, I think of Fame whenever I see or hear the word fame.
Really????? He's not a vampire???? BUT, BUT, he's so strong, he can run so fast...what is this???? EVEN HIS EYES CHANGE COLOR!!!! oh I saw it, one time they were BLACK, and then TOPAZ, now they're blue-grey, green sometimes!!!! wtf??? (ROLLS EYES!)
@Fae
lol--Hey, it's your fantasy, babe!!
jc I'm very dissapointed now! I really thought he's a bloodsucker! ;)
Really?
This is just.. odd.
@Goz, what a treat, my God, I hadn't seen this Fame footage for so many years...shows like this when I was little were part of what inspired me to dance and act and sing and what eventually got me to LA. I just had a lovely 5 minutes of reminiscing...mmm..trips down Memory Lane. xo
well that's all great
but, again ....
DAMN ! spare me those "fangs" , I won't be able to take it anymore ... Edward with fangs ... not even funny, cheesy ...
it's high time media did homework
Ladies,
I'm the author of the comic... I'm the Twilight Parents Examiner and also owner of twilightmoonlighter.com- most definitely a fan.
You guys raise some valid questions:
*yep- I'll be contacting Rob's manager and we're happy to donate some of the proceeds to Rob's favorite charity.
*Granted- the cover is Rob's GQ photo and Edward Cullen's body. Gah. I assure you the art inside is much more lifelike.
* Yes, the fangs and sparkle comments were off-base. That's the P.R.- not to be confused with the content.
*I'm a die-hard Rob fan, and my sources were other Rob websites, so those who've read all about him may not learn that much, but they will appreciate seeing little bits of what we all adore about him.
* It's a comic book told from a fan's point of view, designed for a teenage audience but savvy enough to be enjoyed by all. It's not at all invasive into his personal life- more so a compilation of his work told in an interesting way.
All that said, I hope you give it a shot! :)

@Kim: pleased to hear about the potential donation to the Charity of Rob's choice. Thanks for the heads-up.
You are right about the nose, but across the forehead and eyes look like Rob as well as the way he stands and his hair. I think it is a complete honor that they have done this with a life story of Rob Pattinson. I will definitely be buying it even if is all old news.
... tis gnna be pretty cool.... well the reason is lloud n clear!!.... ---- THE R PATTZ!!... :p
Baby look at me, and tell me what you see, you ain't seen the best of me yet..la-la-la-la... SING IT IRENE CARA!!! - uh, nope, not just you. And now i'll be singing the theme to Fame all day. Again - lol...
