In the Oscar-nominated movie “The Social
Network”, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is portrayed as a
detached, cold and calculating internet visionary. This week, a more
balanced portrayal of Zuckerberg hits stands this week in the form of a
Bluewater Productions biography comic.“Mark Zuckerberg: Creator of Facebook,” a 48-page giant-sized issue
written by freelance journalist Jerome Maida and illustrated by Sal
Field, is scheduled to hit newsstands, comic book stores and online
venues on Wednesday."This is a fascinating story,” says Maida. "I enjoyed researching it
because it's extremely compelling. Think about it. Mark Zuckerberg is
the youngest billionaire on the planet and created something that has
already had a profound impact on the world. Yet hardly anyone knows much
about him. It's amazing."According to Maida, the script doesn't shy away from the harsh
reputation Zuckerberg earned as a result of his business practices and
aloof public persona, but tries to give context to a complex figure.
"Rightly or wrongly, Mark dealt harshly with some people on his way to where he is today", says Maida. "As we see, he left many people feeling betrayed. I try my best to be fair here. No one is totally innocent in this story. I try to represent each of the major players' point of view.
