AMERICAN country music star Tim McGraw has sold over 40 million records, had 21 consecutive albums hit No 1 on the Billboard Charts, and even ventured into acting - starring alongside Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Married to fellow country singer Faith Hill, Stetson-wearing Tim is now about to find fame in the comic book world.
His journey from humble beginnings to become the slickest voice in the West is charted in Bluewater Productions' upcoming biographical comic FAME: Tim McGraw, due out in September 2012.
The comic was written by David A. McIntee with art by artist Jed Mickle and a cover by William Sleeper.
"It was fun to do," McIntee said. "Tim has had a wider career and area of interest than people might think. I loved the chance to do something with a hint of the Western, to go with the musical genre. I think his fans will enjoy that tone to it."
This is not Bluewater's first foray into the country music world. The comic book publisher recently released a biographical title featuring Taylor Swift.
Bluewater Productions' president Darren G. Davis said: "We are getting young people excited about reading by releasing comic books featuring the role models they look up to the most."
Print copies of the 40-page comic book will retail for $7.99 at comic book shops and book stores, as well as at online retailers such as Amazon where the book can be pre-ordered here.
The book will be available in digital format on the Nook, Kindle and iTunes. A special edition print version will be available at www.comicfleamarket.com
The FAME series has chronicled the lives of many other stars, such as Michael Jackson, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
