STEVE JOBS COMIC BOOK BIOGRAPHY TO PAY TRIBUTE TO HIS LEGACY 

jobs

Steve Jobs was nearly as iconic as his company logo. His legacy is that of an innovator, risk-taker, a visionary and a genius. With his recent passing, BLUEWATER PRODUCTIONS along with PAPERLESS PUBLISHING decided to publish the upcoming special edition biography comic book as an e-book available this week on the NOOK and Kindle.


The standard print issue, announced last June, will be released on schedule in three weeks. In respect for Jobs' lifetime of achievement and his brave fight against pancreatic cancer, BLUEWATER has pledged a portion of the issue's proceeds to the American Cancer Society.


“Jobs' vision and business acumen revolutionized the world,” said writer CW Cooke “Between he and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, you would be hard pressed to find someone with greater influence over how we communicate, interact and do business over the last 30 years.”


STEVE JOBS, FOUNDER OF APPLE” offers readers a unique insight into the Apple CEO’s legendary drive to the top and his continuing fight to stay there.


The 32-page issue, penciled by Chris Schmidt (with cover art supplied by DC artist Joe Phillips), will be available in comic shops, bookstores and various online venues including Amazon. The current release date noted on Amazon is incorrect. The standard version of the book will be available on October 27 as well as on Comixology. The special e-book edition, co-published by PAPERLESS PUBLISHING, will be available for download on the NOOK today and the Kindle tomorrow.


The special e-edition of the book will include respectful reference to his passing and summarize the incalculable impact he had on modern society. This is not included in the print version.


“His innovations command front page news, speculation of his health affects the stock market. Not bad for a college dropout” said BLUEWATER  president Darren G. 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,” said Davis.
“Steve Jobs was my hero, he changed the way we all live today.  This book will not only celebrate him, but portions of the proceeds will go to The American Cancer Society in his honor.  He will be missed greatly.” explained Meghan Kilduff, Publisher of PAPERLESS PUBLISHING.

According to BLUEWATER, the impetus to publish the Jobs biography was based on the demand and success of BLUEWATER’s biography comic featuring Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook published last spring.  The expanded graphic novel edition is also exclusively on the NOOK and Kindle.
