The ‘Zen of Steve Jobs’ – graphic novel to be released

Raymond Daily September 10, 2011 Apple, Channel

There have been many books and editorials written on the enigmatic ex-leader of Apple – Steve Jobs. His iconic status now will go down in the history books, as he brought Apple back from the brink of failure to become the world's most valuable company.

A new graphic novel is set to tell the story of Jobs as he left Apple to form NeXT in the 1980's. The company was far from a success story, but then Jobs returned to Apple and the rest is history. It is apparently that interesting that the graphic novel concept came to fruition.

Forbes received some imagery from the upcoming novel and published it on their website. Caleb Melby at Forbes said that the novel is a “culmination of months of reporting, researching, writing, reimagining, scribbling, editing, and then actual paneling, drawing and coloring from [Forbes'] partners at JESS3.”

The 60 page novel is due for release later this year as a digital download. The exact time frame and price have yet to be revealed, but it is sure to be popular with followers of the Zen like Jobs.

    The graphic style is brilliant, it could be a really interesting read.

    I think a movie has to come next, his life has been that interesting, and we cant say that very often about tech leaders
