Satellite radio at XM Sirius Howard Stern is coming to a comic book store near you in April, thanks to Bluewater Productions.

The comic book, which will retail for $3.99, will tell of Stern’s rise to fame.
Bluewater president Darren Davis had this to say.
“We are launching ‘Orbit’ with a skew towards a more male demographic. When we weighed the possibilities of featuring people like Stern, LeBron James, Gary Gygax and JRR Tolkien into our existing titles, the tone and tenor didn’t match. Their enduring popularity and contributions to popular culture are worthy of coverage, but they needed a different voice in which to present the material. ‘Orbit’ fits that bill”
