Bluewater Productions has a new comic book biography on the life of Seth MacFarlane as part of their popular Fame series. Fame: Seth MacFarlane, released this week is available in both print and digital.  

After years of entertaining the masses with his popular cartoons, Bluewater Productions turns the tables by makingFamily Guy creator Seth MacFarlane the subject of it's latest biography comic book.  Fame: Seth MacFarlane written by Michael Troy with art by Gabriel Evangelista follows the life of Seth MacFarlane from his youth to the meteoric rise of the cartoon king that almost wasn't.

“I was excited to get the chance to write the Seth MacFarlane biography comic for Bluewater Productions. Seth is one of the most talented and creative comedians of our generation,” said writer Michael Troy. 

“One of the funny things about the script was to discover so many unknown facts to me about Seth's career. Each page was such a fun to draw that I really hope he and all readers appreciate how the book turns out," said artist Gabriel Evangelista.

"We get a lot of requests on subjects to tell their stories in this unique medium.  MacFarlane 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 “and we both work with Batman’s Adam West!.”

Bluewater has focused on other television personalities in the past such as Conan O’Brien, David Letterman, Chelsea Handler & Betty White.  All are available on Amazon as well as Nook, Kindle & ITunes.

An experienced soldier, a fierce combatant, and someone who won’t quit – she’ll lead her spider platoon deep behind enemy lines on a dangerous, universe-spanning adventure if she wants to see tomorrow.

“This is the start of something very big for Spider-Woman,” says Senior Editor Nick Lowe. “Yes, it’s a big part of Spider-Verse, but this is going to be a character defining first arc for the SPIDER-WOMAN ongoing series.”

The one and only original Spider-Woman is a woman with a mission, and it will take all of her training if she wants to make it out of Spider-Verse alive. Who lives? Who dies?
