Zuckerberg: Media mogul turned comic hero

Mark Zuckerberg is not only famous in the world of social media, he’s also one of the up-and-coming celebrities of the comic universe.

He’s the star of Mark Zuckerberg: Creator of Facebook, a comic produced by U.S.-based studio Bluewater Productions. And while it started as a simple biography comic book—which sold out immediately—it’s now been morphed into a graphic novel with expanded story content and pin-ups.

So, if you’re looking for some light, lunchtime reading, you may want to check it out before it’s too late. It traces his rise to fame and fortune, and offers a more balanced story than the recent movie “The Social Network”, says writer Jerome Maida.

Darren G. Davis, president of Bluewater, says, “Facebook fans and Zuckerberg detractors have sought this title out already. There’s been was a lot of buzz regarding this title outside the traditional comic book buying demographic.

Also, if you’re interested in the rise of other tech moguls, the company has already produced comics about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. In the works is a story about Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the creators of Google.

In other news, Facebook enthusiasts will be happy hear the company’s stock was boosted 5% by Zuckerburg’s pledge to keep his stock last week.

He holds about 504 million shares and options, and will become eligible to start selling them in November. The company currently has about 692 million shares eligible for sale.

Investors are concerned that if Zuckerberg floods the market with additional shares, prices will plummet further. Currently, the stock is still trading lower than its IPO price of $38.

And since the IPO, the stock has been down on 45 trading days, up on 29 and unchanged on two.

Facebook revealed Zuckerberg’s commitment in a regulatory filing last week. It also says a few board members have no present intention to sell stock beyond what they need to cover taxes.

This is good news for investors who’ve been concerned about the company’s ability to keep increasing revenue and making money from its mobile audience.

Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt, for instance, has cut his target price on the stock to $32 from $38, saying its mobile advertising revenue is just starting to grow. But, he maintains an overweight or buy rating on its stock.
