The comic featuring Steve Jobs is about to meet in the public

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has already been the subject of an authorized biography, two upcoming movies, and a number of unauthorized biographies, and now word has it that he will be part of an upcoming manga comic book illustrated by Japanese artist Mari Yamazaki.

The manga is apparently officially licensed, and takes inspiration from Walter Isaacson's biography. It will be published by Kodansha, the same company that released a localized version of Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography. Yamazaki will be illustrating a multi-issue arc as part of Kiss magazine.

No word on exactly what events will be part of the comic series, and also no word yet on exactly when the comics will hit newsstands or if the comics will make their way to the US.
