    Review:


    It's hard to think of an author that is more synonymous with the horror genre than Stephen King.  While you can argue about specific works, you cannot deny his literary contributions.  As such, it's no surprise that he's the subject of a biography comic from Bluewater Productions.  I'm just amazed it took so long.  Unlike other recent bio books, this one actually had the assistance of its subject.  King helped recount various aspects of his life as they're captured here in comic form.

    Orbit uses King's encounter with a minivan in 1999 as a book-end for the piece.  It's without a doubt a traumatic event in the author's life.  We're then taken through a brief recap of his life from a child, through school, his first forays into writing, college, and se

    My copy of Stephen King's comic biography came a couple of weeks ago.  I got my copy as part of a Stephen King grab bag from Cemetery Dance.  I've read it through several times -- and enjoyed it a lot.

    Orbit: Stephen King is something so unusual as a biography over King’s live in comic format. Yes, you heard me…a telling of King’s life in the struktur of a comic book. The comic is released by BlueWather comics and they told me they were working with King when they created this and that is also the feeling I got when inom read the comic. They asked him about his life and he answered and that in vända was incorporated in the comic and gave it the feel of King telling the story in firsthand.

    The issue starts off with King’s accident back in 1999 and while King lies in the ditch we get his life story told. Since it’s told in a comic with only 23 pages it’s the shorter utgåva we get but even so it gives the reader a good look into King’s live and how he became the well known writer he is today.

    We’re told how his father left when he was a small boy, how King abused drugs for a long time, how Tabitha saved the manuscript of Carrie and a lot of other things tha
