Sensational K-pop band BTS is all set to get a comic book dedicated to their phenomenal journey. TidalWave Comics will release the book as part of its FAME series which focuses on pop culture figures and celebrities.

FAME shares the tales of individuals whose talent has inspired countless others. The comic attempts to depict the lives of renowned people and the steps they took to become successful. Celebrities like 50 cent, Beyonce, Kristin Stewart, Adele, David Beckham, Robert Pattinson and Taylor swift were among those featured in its earlier issues.

This 22-page comic, written by Eric M. Esquivel and illustrated by manga artist Lucy Fidelis Arts, is available on a number of platforms, including Amazon, in both print and digital formats. The book will be available in soft cover and hardcover editions, with colours and tones designed by Alexandre Starling and the cover artwork by Paulo Teles Yonami.

The seven-member band's path to fame since its 2013 debut will be featured in BTS's version which will take readers through details about the band's achievements producing many hit songs, supporting humanitarian projects, and emerging as a global pop phenomenon.

Fans were quick to react to the news with great enthusiasm and an extensive spectrum of responses and critique can be found online.

The captivating force known as the 'Bulletproof Boy Scouts' (or just 'BTS' to its passionate fans) appeared unstoppable, surpassing sales records as well as overcoming stereotypes throughout their journey. However, when the South Korean military commanded them to serve an 18-month tour of duty, their unbeaten winning record came to a sudden halt.

Explore the boys's route from being musicians and idols to becoming soldiers in the chapters that comprise the comic book biography FAME: BTS.

The release of FAME: BTS has been tentatively scheduled for January 10.
