(Radio.com) Prince has been deified in film, television, photos and countless recordings and now he has been immortalized in comic book form as well. Tribute: Prince came out on the late singer's birthday, June 7, which was declared 'Prince Day' by Minnesota governor Mark Dayton, reported by Rolling Stone.

Published by Storm Entertainment, the comic was written by Michael L. Frizell and features illustrations by Ernesto Lovera and Vincenzo Sansone. The 24-page comic book "chronicles his meteoric rise to dominance in the pop/funk music scene."

'I first became aware of Prince's music when I was in high school thanks to '1999,' 'Little Red Corvette' and other [songs]," Frizell said in a statement. "I remember listening to his stuff almost religiously when the soundtrack to Purple Rain hit. His sound and lyrics defined the era for me in ways that Michael Jackson didn't and, quite frankly, couldn't." Read more here.
