Elvis Presley has been turned into a comic book character to commemorate his 35th death anniversary.

Presley will be immortalised in Graphic Elvis, a limited edition comic created by Liquid Comics and Elvis Presley Enterprises.

"Comics influenced so much of his life," Contactmusic quoted Sharad Devarajan, the co-founder of Liquid Comics, as saying.

Elvis had once told his fans: "When I was a child, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. So every dream I ever dreamt has come true a hundred times."

A number of Presley's handwritten notes, which have rarely been seen by the public, will also be included in the cartoon creation.
