To come out in May, a 32-page Bluewater Productions biographical comic will 'introduce fans to the many sides' of the 'Twilight Saga' star beyond his most famous role.

Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson has got the comic book treatment Lady GaGa, 50 Cent, David Beckham and Taylor Swift and other "culturally relevant" celebrities are getting. Bluewater Productions has revealed that The Edward Cullen of the "Twilight Saga" series will be featured in Fame, a new comic book series that focuses on the lives of pop culture icons.

The 32-page comic will chronicle the 23-year-old's career from his first performance in "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" at London's Barnes Theatre to his breakout roles. In a statement, writer Kim Sherman explained, "I chose to conceptualize A-lister Robert Pattinson from a unique perspective, immersing the reader into the life of the talented actor beyond his most famous role."

Nathaniel Ooten who provided the drawings for the comic, meanwhile, shared his new appreciation to the actor. "Before starting, I was only aware of the 'teenage vampire' Pattinson," he shared. "After reading the script, studying the subject and listening to his music, I not only became very interested in Pattinson's future work, but also discovered a new appreciation for this 'teenage vampire.' "

Bluewater president Darren G. Davis chimed in, "I'm pleased to be able to bring them Robert Pattinson's story. It's our hope that even the most devoted fans will discover a fact or two that takes them completely by surprise." While the issue won't be made available for purchase in comic book stores and Amazon.com until May, first look at the cover created by Juan Mar Studios can be seen on E! Online.
