FAME: Drake - A Biography Comic Book

post by KM

FAME: Drake, a new Drake biography in comic book form, is slated for a January 2012 release. The comic biography will cover Drake's career from his days as an actor on Degrassi: The Next Generation, to his rise to fame in the music business.

“What makes Drake such a distinctive creative personality is that he's not just one thing. His music encompasses hip-hop, rap, old style rhythm and blues, soul and pop," the book's author, Marc Shapiro told MTV.

Shapiro goes on to describe the Young Money recording artist as being “refreshingly real and down to earth."

"When was the last time you heard of a celebrity blowing off a lucrative tour to be at his mother's side during her stay in the hospital? Drake did just that. You could die of old age waiting to find somebody who has as much soul, creatively and as a human being, as Drake," says Shapiro.

FAME: Drake will be published by Bluewater Productions, and features the art of Mike J.C.

Drake's latest album, "Take Care" (which leaked online earlier this week), is officially available on 11/15/2011. You can purchase the digital version here.
