Posted 3/3/11 12:43 pm EST by in Bluewater Productions, News


You may know Bluewater Productions best for its line of "Political Power," "Fame," and "Female Force" biography comics, but it's also home to a number of original offerings, including Darren G. Davis' series "10th Muse." The ongoing comic book series launched in 2000 and is inspired by the Greek myth of the Nine Muses — and now it will get its own television series.

Announced via press release, Vanquish Motion Pictures has picked up "10th Muse" for a small-screen adaptation. Jennifer Quintenez ("Wicked Wicked Games," "American Heiress") has been tapped to write a pilot script and Vanquish's Jay Douglas, Nav Gupta and Marc Manus will executive produce with Bluewater publisher Darren G. Davis. Read More...

To that end, Bluewater has provided Splash Page readers with the first, exclusive peek at the cover to the Special Edition "The Cast Of Glee" comic, as well as the text of their upcoming announcement regarding the books.

Female Force: Angelina JolieBluewater comics' line of "Female Force" unauthorized biography comics have already chronicled the lives and careers of Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, Hillary Clinton, as well as authors like J.K. Rowling ("Harry Potter") and Stephenie Meyer ("Twilight") — so where do they turn next? Apparently, the answer is mega-star Angelina Jolie.

Promising to "fill in the blanks surrounding Jolie's life," the 32-page comic hits shelves in January and takes a slightly different approach to telling its subject's tale. According to Bluewater, the comic will explore Jolie's life through the perspective of several aid volunteers in Haiti.

'Fame: Lady Gaga 2' Preview - The First Colored Pages From The Upcoming Sequel Comic!

Posted 9/28/10 3:01 pm EST by in Bluewater Productions, Preview


Fame: Lady Gaga 2Late last month, we brought you an exclusive preview of "Fame: Lady Gaga 2," the sequel to Bluewater Comics' comic book biography of MTV's 2009 Woman of the Year, Lady Gaga.

Yes, the first comic sold so well that they're doing a sequel — and this time around, the issue will focus more on her career instead of her personal life and impact on the cultural landscape. Bluewater has provided Splash Page readers with the first, exclusive look at colored pages from the comic, featuring art by Dan Glasl.

EXCLUSIVE: Adam West On His New Comic Book Series 'The Mis-Adventures Of Adam West'

Posted 9/13/10 12:01 pm EST by in Bluewater Productions, Hot Stuff, News


Adam WestSure, "The Dark Knight" star Christian Bale has cemented his status as the big-screen incarnation of Batman these days, but for anyone who remembers a time before Christopher Nolan — or even Tim Burton — got their hands on Gotham's guardian, Adam West was (and in some cases, continues to be) the Batman.

The star of the campy 1960s television series that played a big role in making Batman a household name, West has managed to keep himself active in the pop culture eye for decades now with on-screen television, movie, and commercial roles, and numerous voice-acting gigs. One of the most popular recurring characters on the hit series "Family Guy" (he voices an eccentric version of himself who happens to be the mayor of fictional Quahog, Rhode Island), West has somehow managed to avoid adding a comic book project to his resume... until now.

"The Mis-Adventures Of Adam West" will debut in Spring 2011 from Bluewater Comics as an ongoing series co-written by Adam West, Walter Fernandez Jr. and Arastao Maree. I spoke with West about the project, which will send him on a dimension-hopping adventure featuring encounters both fictional and within his real-life history, and received an exclusive preview of several covers from the upcoming series.
