Actress Kristen Stewart is the newest star of Bluewater Productions' Fame series of biography comics coming in June.Writer Kim Sherman, who has also penned Bluewaters' Robert Pattinson entry in the series, thinks Stewart's versatility and talent might surprise readers who only know her as Bella.
"For Twilight fans, Kristen Stewart is a woman whom fans long to be and love to hate," Sherman said. "But Kristen has been in the public eye for years, and her career as a serious actor spans dozens of films over a 10-year period of time. My goal with this biography was to show readers the depth residing in this young woman and the roles she's beautifully tackled through a series of spot shots, pinups and word art."
The 32-page comic book, Fame: Kristen Stewart will be available in June, and will retail for $3.99.
