Football star David Beckham [ Images ] will get a new look in a comic book recounting his life, from dreaming of the game as a kid to finding major success both on and off the field, publisher Bluewater productions said on Wednesday.
Titled "Fame: David Beckham," the book will be published this September and is the latest comic in a Bluewater series that has detailed the lives of political figures including Hillary Clinton [ Images ] and entertainers such as Ellen DeGeneres [ Images ].
Beckham, 35, who gained stardom for his athletic prowess and his marriage to Spice Girl Victoria Beckham [ Images ], is the first sports figure to be featured in the publisher's "fame" series, which also has included singers Lady Gaga [ Images ] and Taylor Swift [ Images ].
The comic will depict Beckham dreaming of playing for English club Manchester United [ Images ] right through to his days playing as a Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder. It will sell for $3.99.
The book features all of Beckham's influences on fashion, style and culture. It begins with him growing up kicking balls with his father, Ted, and being urged to "bend it" -- which became Beckham's famed ability to curve the ball in the air as referenced in the movie Bend it Like Beckham [ Images ].
