Lady Gaga: The comic

Jan 6, 2010, 6:02 GMT

Lady Gaga is to be turned into a comic book character.

The 'Poker Face' singer will feature in a free animated magazine as part of a preview for American publishers Bluewater Productions' upcoming Fame series.

According to Bluewater, the title will focus on "culturally relevant celebrities and other pop culture icons".

The comic will be available on Free Comic Book Day on May 5 and the publishers are planning further issues featuring Robert Pattinson, 50 Cent, David Beckham and Taylor Swift.

The Fame series joins Bluewater's other biographical titles Political Power and Female Force, which focus on political and high-profile female figures respectively.

Bluewater Productions President Darren G. Davis said: "Over the past year we saw an opportunity to broaden the scope of who reads comics.

"There were many who had never picked up a graphic novel or comic book but bought our biography titles like Female Force and Political Power. Fame is the natural extension of that trend."
