Tribute: Freddie Mercury
Written by Mike Lynch and Manuel Díaz with seven alternate exclusive covers by Michael Troy and Graham Hill is also be available digitally in Spanish.
Freddie Mercury was one of the best performers of his generation. Now read the story behind the legend. His childhood in the paradise island of Zanzibar, his exile to England, and then going on to become the front man for one of the greatest bands of all time Queen. This special comic book is a tribute of his life and accompaniments he made to the world of music.
“Mercury’s story is a fascinating one, from his birth in Zanzibar, being forced to flee his homeland at an early age to his rise to Rock Royalty in the U K and then onto global conquest. His work has gone on to inspire generations of musicians. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest performers in music history and it was an honor to have worked on this biography”, said writer Mike Lynch.
“The Tribute line of comic books tells the stories of people that have made a significant difference in the world while they were with us that”, says Bluewater publisher, Darren G. Davis “It is a way for us to honor these people who have made a difference in the world.”
“We also wanted to talk about the fact that Mercury suffered from the AIDS virus to try to reduce stigma,” said Davis who has HIV.

Fame: Bon Jovi
Written and drawn by Jayfri Hashim, the story of Bon Jovi is being retold in this comic book. This story will feature New Jersey’s favorite musicians in the rock-band Bon Jovi, who survived three decades of trials and tribulation. Bluewater goes back to the early years of the band and how frontman Jon Bon Jovi gets a record deal and has kept the band going for decades. The classic rags to riches story, what kept the band going strong and will it be the end of the crossroad?… it will all be told.
“We get a lot of requests on subjects to tell their stories in this unique medium. Bon Jovi has always been at the top of the list when people mention to us who they would like to see a comic book of”, says publisher Darren G. Davis.
