乔布斯传记漫画书今夏上市

    Steve Jobs is set to be immortalized* in pen and ink this summer with the release* of a new comic book* based on the Apple co-founder’s life. “Steve Jobs: The co-founder of Apple” is being published by Bluewater Productions, the same company that earlier this year released a comic book that recorded the rise of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

    “His innovations* command front page news, speculation* of his health affects the stock market. Not bad for a college dropout*,” said Bluewater president Darren Davis.

    “His story, and that of Apple, is epic*. I’m surprised it took us this long to publish a proper, balanced biography* of him.”

    The comic book isn’t the only publication about Jobs in the works. Next March, Simon & Schuster will publish the highly anticipated “iSteve: The Book of Jobs,” an authorized* biography of Jobs written by former Time managing editor Walter Isaacson.

    Earlier this year, a Steve Jobs action figure was briefly sold before Apple’s lawyers stepped in to stop sales of the figurine*. Apple, which takes great efforts to protect Jobs’ privacy and image, went as far as to stop eBay auctions* of the figure, some of which were getting bids as high as US$2,500.

    Bluewater cited the success of its Zuckerberg comic as a reason for moving forward with the Jobs comic. The company also announced that it will be releasing a graphic novel version of the Zuckerberg bio-comic this fall for US$10.99.

    The 32-page comic book will go on sale in August in comic book stores and online through Amazon.
