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.”

Since the publishers 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 dont know it. In any case, hurray for her reading and liking the story.

Well, this is a huge surprise...and a good one at that! Im so going to get my hands on the collectors edition. The background was overwhelming, but at least J.K. Rowling looked great! Josh Labello did her justice.
