As
a leading industrialist in Russia's precious metals sector, Mikhail Prokhorov
quickly rose to become the seventh 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. It explores the
lives of some of the most influential business people, 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 other
critically acclaimed biography comic books and graphic novels – Political Power, FAME, and Female Force. Bluewater biographies
have been featured on everything from Forbes, ESPN, CNN, to The Today Show, to MTV.
