After the announcement of the Brooklyn Net new mascot
“BrooklynKnight” and its Marvel produced comic book. Bluewater Productions is introducing the Nets’
enigmatic owner Mikhail Prokhorov’s life story will be told in in comic book
format as “Orbit: Mikhail Prokhorov”.
As a leading industrialist in Russia's precious metals
sector, Mikhail Prokhorov quickly rose to become the 7th richest man in the
country. He ran against the mighty Vladimir Putin in the 2012 presidential
elections, and purchased the NBA team the Nets, moving the former Garden
Staters to Brooklyn this year. As the center of his fair share of controversies
over the years, the Russian billionaire has become one of the most talked about
figures in Europe and beyond.
“Orbit: Mikhail Prokhorov” details the many hats worn by
the ambitious Russian. From prominent politician to owner of an American sports
franchise, Tony Laplume captures his interesting story, while Miky Ruiz brings
it to life with his illustrations.
The bio comic is the latest in Bluewater Production’s
popular “Orbit” biography series. “Orbit” explores the lives of some of the
most influential business people, athletes, authors, musicians, and public
figures in the world, geared more towards a male audience. Past issues have
focused on Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Stephen King, John Lennon, and Howard Stern.
“Orbit” joins the ranks of our critically acclaimed biography comic books and
graphic novels along with “Political Power,” “FAME,” and “Female Force.” Bluewater
biographies have been featured on everything from Forbes, ESPN, CNN, to The
Today Show, to MTV.
