Drake‘s biography is coming to a store new you. But not just in any old form – a comic book, titled FAME: Drake - available in stores starting Jan 2012.

The book will trace the life of Aubrey Graham from his start in TV’s Degrassi: The Next Generation to his fateful decision to go by his middle name, Drake, and subsequently receive mega stardom as a musician.

Here’s what the comic book’s writer, Marc Shapiro, had to share about the project: “What makes Drake such a distinctive creative personality is that he’s not just one thing. His music encompasses hip-hop, rap, old style rhythm and blues, soul and pop.”

On Drake’s “refreshingly real and down to earth” personality: “When was the last time you heard of a celebrity blowing off a lucrative tour to be at his mother’s side during her stay in the hospital? Drake did just that. You could die of old age waiting to find somebody who has as much soul, creatively and as a human being, as Drake.”
