Robert Pattinson Comic Book Writer Answers Questions

Kim Sherman the author of Fame's Robert Pattinson Comic Book wanted to answer some questions our commenters raised in the posts we made about the book. We thank Kim for taking the time. Here's the unedited Q&A.

Q: Are you over-exposing Rob by making this comic?
A: With the continual press out about Rob and his insane popularity along with all the Twilight franchising, it does seem like overexposure. The biography comics started out to inform readers about high-profile people such as politicians and female powerhouse figures. The series have become extremely popular, both with readers and with those being profiled. Sarah Palin and Bill Clinton requested copies of their bios. Barbara Walters featured her own on The View, and Ellen loves hers as well. It’s morphed into a series on famous figures, and Rob, obviously, is at the top of the list.

I won’t be exposing Rob in a negative light, nor will I speculate on anything, including his love life. That’s his own business, not mine or anyone else’s. Nor will it be a boring chronological rehash of him growing up. Everything in the book comes from reputable sources. Rob has been typecast as Edward Cullen, and my goal is for readers to see him for who he is- a great actor with immense ability to perform… beyond the stigma of Twilight.

Q: Is this biography authorized?
A: No, it’s not. Most high profile public figures aren’t in the position to sit and dictate to a ghost writer the details about his/her life, and Rob is no different. That said, however, even though Bluewater bios are unauthorized, they’ve been extremely well-received by those who have been profiled. They aren’t smut; they’re a true, condensed version of a public figure’s life.

Consider this- aside from the “official” Twilight site- nearly everything else you read about on the internet is unauthorized. This book is no different; it’s just a tangible compilation of information that you’ve already dissected all over the net, put together in an interesting way…. Ambrosial, if you will…

Robert Pattinson Comic Book Gets A New Cover And Preview Page

From MTV

Last month, we gave you the first look at Lady Gaga on the cover of "Fame," Bluewater Productions' new line of celebrity biography comics. While Gaga's debut was certainly big news, "Twilight" fans were most excited about the presence of franchise actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the "Fame" lineup.

Now, we have your first look at a new cover for "Fame: Robert Pattinson," as well as an exclusive preview of interior art from the comic. Arriving on shelves in May, the 32-page comic promises to "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."

Read on for two covers from "Fame: Robert Pattinson" (including a new cover by Paul Andrew Manton), as well as an exclusive page of unfinished interior art from artist Nathaniel Ooten. The comic is written by Kim Sherman. (Gozde: Kim is not a stranger to this fandom :) She used to run Pillowbiters and still runs twilightmoonlighter.com and Twilight Parents Examiner. So she is a fan through and through. She is also our friend :))

Robert Pattinson is Not Just a Teenage Vampire

This comic book makes you realize Robert Pattinson is Not Just a Teenage Vampire... No shit Sherlock :)



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"?

A new comic book is coming out that will feature famous people. They'd better not steal my genius idea of "super hero with an impregnating stare" :)

From Coventry Telegraph:

LADY GAGA is to kick off a new comic book series focusing on the lives of pop culture icons.

American publisher Bluewater Productions announced the launch of the new series, to be called Fame.

The first issue, featuring the life story of the US singer, will be out in time for Free Comic Book Day on May 5.

Recently, pop culture artist Brian Einersen announced an entirely separate comic called Lady Saga, inspired by the pop diva and featuring fictional adventures in the world of fashion.

Future issues of Bluewater's Fame series will focus on such stars as Robert Pattinson, 50 Cent, David Beckham and Taylor Swift.

Bluewater president Darren G. Davis said: "Over the past year we saw an opportunity to broaden the scope of who reads comics.

"There were many who had never picked up a graphic novel or comic book but buy our biography titles like Female Force and Political Power. Fame is the natural extension of that trend."

Davis, formerly a marketing executive for E! Entertainment Television and Lionsgate, said the multiple printings of his tribute comic Michael Jackson: King of Pop, as I reported previously, convinced him to expand into the new series.

"Fame gives us the ability to tell more interesting stories about a wider variety of notable personalities. Conversely, it allows us to focus the scope of our other biography titles to more socially and political important figures." Davis added.

Biography comics have already been published on such icons and celebrities as Harry Potter author JK Rowling, Twilight writer Stephenie Meyer and Princess Diana.

Bluewater has also announced its biography title release schedule for the first half of 2010.

Upcoming issues of the Female Force series include Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama: Year One and Ellen DeGeneres. Other biographies filling out the first half of the year's schedule include Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor, news anchor Meredith Vieira, and novelist Anne Rice.

The Political Power series will feature Al Gore, Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton followed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Franken, and Rush Limbaugh.

"People seem to enjoy debating whether this person or that are worthy of our biographies. Whereas some subjects have more influence on our social, cultural or political landscape than others, the bottom line is we try to choose subjects that have compelling or important stories to tell," Davis
