Ozzy Comic Book On The Way

Comic books aren't just for super heroes. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with the master behind the plan. The maker of the new Ozzy Osbourne and Ian Flemming Comic books. It's Darren Davis Portland, Oregon - Bond. James Bond. The fictional character is synonymous with action, intrigue, beautiful women, and maniacal despots bent on world destruction. The life of 007's creator, Ian Fleming, proved to be a template for his greatest creation. This week, Bluewater explores the man behind the myth, or should we say the man who is a myth? The 28-page comic biography, “Orbit: Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond,” was written by Matthew J. Elliot and features art by Ross Bampfylde. The comic book explores the life of the man responsible for one of the most enduring literary and cinematic adventure characters. Fleming, a British author and journalist, also served as a British Naval Intelligence author. This experience fueled stories rife with intrigue, danger, and secrets. Fleming’s eleven Bond novels rank among the best-selling fiction novels of all time, and his children’s story, “Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang” has been adapted into feature films and for the Broadway stage. Biographies featuring literary figures are not new for Bluewater Productions, which offers a diverse library of stories culled from classic myths, science fiction, superheroes, and Hollywood legends. Past biographies have featured the life stories of Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Anne Rice, L. Frank Baum, and Lewis Carroll. A biography of Margaret Mitchell, author of “Gone with the Wind” is also planned. “It’s all part of our business model,” states President and Publisher Darren G. Davis. “I have guest taught in schools and found comic books to be an excellent way to reach children and young adults.” “One of the most important factors that drive the team behind Bluewater is the mission to get kids reading,” said Davis. The Portland, Oregon-based publisher has had the privilege to work closely with schools and libraries on this initiative. “Growing up, I was a reluctant reader. We hope to reach kids in similar situations that may be more apt to read when a comic book is placed in front of them.” “Orbit: Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond” can be downloaded to your e-reader from iTunes, Kindle, Wowio, ComiXology, DriveThru Comics, Google Play, Madefire, My Digital Comics, Overdrive, Iverse, Biblioboard, Flipkart, Axis360, Epic!, Blio, Entitle, Comicblender.com, Indie Comic Tracker, Wheeler, Scoop, Nook, Kobo and wherever eBooks are sold.
