As usual: since this is a book club, we assume you’ve done the required reading, so SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!!!

June 25, 2009, the world was shocked by the loss of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. Adored by millions since his debut as part of The Jackson 5 in 1968, Jackson wowed music lovers with iconic albums like Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad.

As controversial as he was talented, Michael Jackson was a polarizing figure for many, but most can agree that he was a phenomenal performer, with 13 Grammys, 13 number-one singles, and 750 million records sold in his lifetime.

Today, Bluewater Productions announced that they will publish a comic to memorialize Jackson’s life, called Tribute: Michael Jackson–King of Pop. Due out October 28, this comics biography will celebrate Michael Jackson’s life and accomplishments, and will feature a foreword and cover by Giuseppe Mazzola, a friend of the entertainer.

With two covers to choose from, including a photo cover, this comic is a special addition to Bluewater’s line of biographical comics, including Female Force and Political Power.
