Fame: Lady Gaga is a comic book published by Bluewater Productions. According to a report over at MTV, Bluewater Productions will be releasing a new line of comics entitled 'FAME', and that the first feature will appropriately be focusing on the successes of Lady Gaga, who's last album was ironically titled 'Fame Monster'. The comic will be structured in a similar format to Bluewater's 'Female Force' books and will be released this coming May for free comic book day. Hopefully the release of this book will get people who do not normally read comics to hit their local store. This is not the first time that Gaga will be stepping into the realm of comic books. In fact, this past fall we got a look at her very own comic Lady Saga which was exclusively available at Marc Jacobs retailers. The 'FAME' series will feature other pop-culture icons such as Robert Pattinson, 50 Cent, David Beckham and Taylor Swift. Bluewater president Darren G. Davis indicated that the purpose of the comic is to introduce comic books to audiences that normally would not read them.
Lawsuit[]
On August 31st, 2010, Kenneth Feinswog, attorney for GaGa & Justin Beiber filed a cease-and-desist order on Bluewater Productions on behalf of his clients. The report states that Kenneth "likens Bluewater’s comics to be more akin to a bootleg album or poster, and thus they’re actionable on trademark and intellectual property and likeness rights." A spokesperson for Universal Music Group merchandising company Bravado told MTV News: "Bravado is committed to protecting the rights of its clients, and in this case it's Justin Bieber and Lady GaGa."
