BLUE WATER PRODUCTIONS: STEPHENIE MEYER TO GET HER OWN COMIC BOOK
The Twilight Graphic Novel is already in the works, but now Stephenie Meyer is getting a graphic publication based on herself – her very own comic book. Blue Water Productions, the creators behind the Female Force comic book series (which also featured the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Princess Diana), will be producing the comic book and intend to have it out before the November release of New Moon. Read below for more details:
In time for the November theatrical release of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” Bluewater Productions announced it is producing two versions of an upcoming biography comic on best selling author Stephenie Meyer.Female Force: Stephenie Meyer, scheduled for release right before the movie hits theaters on, November 20th, provides readers two options: a standard 22-page version and a double-sized collector’s edition that contains a variety of extras.
“We get to turn the tables on Meyers and she becomes the featured protagonist,” said Bluewater’s president Darren G. Davis. “And we are going to tell her story in a very fun, respectful and unique way.”
The comic, written by Ryan Burton (“Flying Saucers vs The Earth”) examines her rise to popularity, her “Twilight” saga novels, the launching of the successful movie franchise and her future plans. According to Burton, a very recognizable and iconic vampire will serve as the story’s narrator.
“It’s an equally strange and great feeling to write about an author of this magnitude, especially in a format that’s near and dear to my heart. I think it’s brilliant that Stephenie Meyer’s story will be read by both fans of her work, and fans of the comic book medium,” Burton said.
The alternate 40-page collector’s edition will include the history of Forks; the Washington peninsula town where her stories take place as well as other bonus material not found anywhere else.
The title is being drawn by Dave MacNeil and Vinnie Tartamella provides the cover art.
Meyer, Named USA Today’s “Author of the Year” in 2008, is the first author of fiction featured in the Female Force series. The series, to date, has published biographies on such influential women as Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin and Princess Diana.

Wow, this is pretty intense. I’ve never heard of Blue Water Productions and I’m not a huge comic book fan (sorry), but I will really look forward to this. It sounds pretty interesting and I love the cover art. I wonder what Mrs. Meyer herself thinks of it?
What do you think of this comic book? Will you end up purchasing a copy?
