Bluewater Productions has created a biographical comic book profiling legendary musician and songwriter, John Lennon.
Writer Marc Shapiro had this statement in the press release: “I approached writing Tribute: John Lennon as an exploration of a life full of potential and promise that was, sadly, cut short. We all know the importance of John Lennon as part of The Beatles. But I felt it was more important to concentrate on his post Beatles’ life and career, both good and bad, so that readers would get the clearest possible idea about who he was as a creative entity, husband and father.”
This new project, part of the Tribute series, features interior artwork by Luciano Kars and cover art by Graham Hill. Other recording artists who have been featured in this series include Queen lead vocalistFreddie Mercury, Nirvana frontmanKurt Cobain, and more.
Bluewater Productions has created a biographical comic book profiling the legendary musician Freddie Mercury for their Tribute series.
Mike Lynch and Manuel Díaz worked together to pen the story. Michael Troy and Graham Hill created seven alternate exclusive covers for this project.
Here’s more from the press release: "Freddie Mercury was one of the best performers of his generation. Now read the story behind the legend. His childhood in the paradise island of Zanzibar, his exile to England, and then going on to become the front man for one of the greatest bands of all time Queen."
Publishers are vying to be the champions as they bring out titles to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the death of Queen star Freddie Mercury in November 2011.
In a pre-London Book Fair auction, publisher Hodder and Stoughton has acquired the world rights to an updated and revised version of Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography authored by Lesley-Ann Jones. Although an exact number was not revealed, the deal is reportedly worth “high five-figures.”
According to The Bookseller, nonfiction editor Hannah Black negotiated the deal, securing world rights, with Mulcahy Conway Associates literary agent Ivan Mulcahy. A publication date has been set for 2012 to synchronize with the release of the Freddie Mercurybiopic starring Sacha Baron-Cohen as Queen’s lead singer.
Jones (pictured, via) released the original version of her Freddie Mercury biography with Hodder and Stoughton in 1997. In the past, she has also written titles profiling pop star Kylie Minogue and supermodel Naomi Campbell.
Well let's see. Last night I watched the season finale of Glee, and have had Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" stuck in my head ALL DAY. I've had Freddie Mercury on my mind, too, in a big way. That gorgeous voice, and a life that ended way too soon. Makes you think, and wonder.
The cool weather and wind came back today, which is very unseasonable, and a gift to people like me who thrive on 'cool' and cannot function when its hot. I spent some time out on the terrace with my sketch pad and thoughts for some new art. I'm going back to concentrating on my children's book work. I've been off on a 'fine art' tangent lately. And its been a nice tangent. But enough. For now.
I also thumbed through my Bas Bleu catalog - do you know this place? They call themselves a "bookseller by post", and have a nice selection of books and bookish things you don't see everywhere. I've marked "The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England" as one I think I need. Definitely.
Oh, and I did end up going to that art fair last weekend, and am glad I did. A fellow artiste, Laurie Vanina, was there showing her beautiful decoupaged pieces (she and I both have art in a local shop here). I came home with one of her magnetic boards, and some other trinkets.
The coin, "s" blocks, domino dice, key and white game piece are all magnets. She does beautiful boxes and chairs and tables and switchplates and cards and other things too. I'm happy to finally have one of her pieces to call my own!
*Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango* is from the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody. In case you didn't know.

I'm so angry at myself for missing Glee last night. The repeats will be on this summer on Thursday, I heard. Your Twix in the frame is wonderful! Best of luck with the show!
Yes, Paula, that song is one of those that just won't leave your head when you hear it! That video of the song is etched on my brain, I remember it first time around (how old am I?!). And thanks for the link to that book - I love English social history and this one looks good, it's now on my birthday wish list!
BTW, if you're into funny English history books, a Classic is "1066 and all that" by Sellar and Yeatman. It was written in the 1930s I think but it is still, IMHO, just the funniest book you'll ever read on the subject ;)
