Steve Jobs was nearly as iconic as his company logo. His legacy is that of an innovator, risk-taker, a visionary and a genius. With his recent passing, Bluewater Productions along with Paperless Publishing decided to publish the upcoming special edition biography comic book as an e-book available this week on the NOOK and Kindle.
The standard print issue, announced last June, will be released on schedule in three weeks. In respect for Jobs’ lifetime of achievement and his brave fight against pancreatic cancer, Bluewater has pledged a portion of the issue’s proceeds to the American Cancer Society.
Writer CW Cooke writes :
Jobs’ vision and business acumen revolutionized the world . . . Between he and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, you would be hard pressed to find someone with greater influence over how we communicate, interact and do business over the last 30 years.
Steve Jobs: Founder of Apple offers readers a unique insight into the Apple CEOs legendary drive to the top and his continuing fight to stay there.
The 32-page issue, penciled by J. Christopher Schmidt (with cover art supplied by DC artist Joe Phillips), will be available in comic shops, bookstores and various online venues including Amazon. The current release date noted on Amazon is incorrect. The standard version of the book will be available on October 27 as well as on Comixology. The special e-book edition, co-published by Paperless Publishing, will be available for download on the NOOK today and the Kindle tomorrow.
The special e-edition of the book will include respectful reference to his passing and summarize the incalculable impact he had on modern society. This is not included in the print version.

According to Bluewater, the impetus to publish the Jobs biography was based on the demand and success of Bluewater’s biography comic featuring Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook published last spring. The expanded graphic novel edition is also exclusively on the NOOK and Kindle.
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years-as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues-Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
