BIll Hicks Comic Book Biography

Some interesting news recently came from a recent article on Bleeding Cool regarding some controversy and a split between Bluewater Productions, a comic book company that has made a name for itself publishing comic book biographies of famous people, including President Obama; and the creator of a recently announced line of biographies dedicated to famous comedians.

Bleeding Cool interviewed the creator of this series Jaymes Reed who has split with Bluewater and will now publish through a "print on demand" basis. In the interview Jaymes casually announced an "authorized" comic book biography of Bill Hicks in the works!

"We’re even doing a Bill Hicks book that will be authorized by Bill’s estate. I’m working closely on it with Steve Hicks, Bill’s brother."

While there has been no official announcement made yet. And I have heard nothing from official channels, I did a little digging and was able to uncover the above cover art designed for the comic! 

When we have more news and a release date I will be sure to post it here!

UPDATE

Jaymes Reed has sent me the official cover art (which is subject to change). They are aiming for a November release for the Bill Hicks issue.
