Steve Jobs: the comic book

Presumably his arch-nemesis will be a small, green, android type creation.

Publisher Bluewater has made the graphic novel, which is titled Steve Jobs: co-founder of Apple. Today it makes its debut on Amazon and in newsstands and comic book shops.

The comic is 32 pages long and follows Jobs' journey with Apple. However, it excludes his death as production begun beforehand.

In a statement CW Cooke, comic book author, said: Admire him or dislike him, Jobs’ vision and business acumen revolutionised 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."

Speaking of Gates, he too has been immortalised in comic book form with an issue called Bill Gates: co-creator of Microsoft, which is due for release in March. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg has also found himself as the star of a Bluewater comic.

Cooke continued: "There are definitely some similarities between Zuckerberg, Jobs and Gates. It takes a certain kind of drive and a certain kind of genius to move society the way they have."

Since the former Apple CEO died in October 2011, a number of moneymaking types have sensed an opportunity to profit from his demise as fans have clamoured to know more about Jobs.

First came a biography, which revealed Jobs' penchant for not bathing. Then Hollywood announced plans to make a film about his life, which revealed George Clooney may portray him. And just last week came the unveiling of a $99.99 Jobs doll.

Steve Jobs: co-founder of Apple retails at $3.99.
