News from Clover Press today as the publisher announces plans to develop a biographical graphic novel about famed Olympic champion diver and social & LGBTQ activist, Greg Louganis.
The creative team for A Champion’s Story is being finalized; Mr. Louganis will be involved in all stages of the book’s continued development and creation.
A Champion’s Story is set for print and digital release by Clover Press in Winter, 2022.
The graphic novel will tell Louganis’ extraordinary life story, from his childhood and early diving career to achieving Olympic greatness and facing many challenges and triumphs in his personal life.
A Champion’s Story will be helmed by Clover Press’ Hank Kanalz and Matt Ruzicka. Ruzicka, a former executive at IDW Publishing, along with IDW Publishing co-founders, Ted Adams, and Robbie Robbins, each played a key role in bringing to life the bestselling graphic novel biographies of George Takei, “They Called Us Enemy,” and “March,” about civil rights leader and U.S. congressman, John Lewis.
