Bluewater Productions has released a biography comic based on the royal wedding.
Available in stores today, The Royals: Prince William & Kate Middleton is written by CW Cooke and pencilled by Pablo Martinena.
The 32-page comic tells the story of the couple's eight-year romance. It will also be available as a collector's edition graphic novel, consisting of 40 pages.
"This has been one of Bluewater's most anticipated biography books," said Bluewater president Darren Davis. "Fans of the royal couple will love this issue for portraying William and Kate as two well-rounded and grounded individuals. But it also has enough pomp and spectacle to match the excitement surrounding the event."
He added: "There was considerable spectacle and buzz 30 years ago when Charles and Diana got married, but I think this wedding surpasses that one simply because it offers a diversion from the constant barrage of news of war, economic hardships and political enmity. It's simply a good news story that's a bit larger than life."
Bluewater is best known for its biographic lines, including 'Fame', 'Political Power' and 'Female Force'. A comic featuring the late Princess Diana was released under the latter banner in 2009, garnering media attention.
The publisher has confirmed that William's brother Prince Harry will be the subject of a biography comic in August.
