在最新的卡通人物大戰(zhàn)中，原本扯不上關(guān)系的斯蒂芬妮·梅爾和JK羅琳將化身女主角進(jìn)行PK。兩名暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)作者預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)在年底來(lái)一次“正面交鋒”，因?yàn)樗齻兊目ㄍ▊饔浶≌f(shuō)都排在了那時(shí)發(fā)行。

身著紫色露肩禮服，頸戴金色項(xiàng)鏈，羅琳的卡通形象似乎比身著V字領(lǐng)的套頭外衣的梅爾更加迷人。這兩本卡通書(shū)將分別于12月和11月由美國(guó)發(fā)行商Bluewater Productions發(fā)行，如此的（造型）安排是否會(huì)更加吸引讀者就要屆時(shí)才見(jiàn)分曉了。

羅琳的卡通自傳將延續(xù)她的“平民富翁傳奇”，Bluewater 表示，故事將由她在中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭的成長(zhǎng)歷程講起，包括她在葡萄牙教授英語(yǔ)的經(jīng)歷以及她如何“迅速躥紅”成為暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)作家圈中的一員。作者Adam Gragg說(shuō)羅琳是一位“杰出并且多面的女人”?！傲私馑窃鯓拥娜?、她是如何奮斗并取得成功使人深受啟迪，”他說(shuō)，“她曾被12位出版商拒之門(mén)外，要不是有一位英國(guó)出版商的女兒喜歡《哈利波特與魔法石》的第一章，我們可能就見(jiàn)不到哈利波特了?！?/p>

Bluewater 的總裁 Darren G Davis說(shuō)，梅爾的故事將由一個(gè)吸血鬼來(lái)講述，口吻將“十分有趣、恭敬并且獨(dú)特”。

目前，該出版商正在為其卡通書(shū)系列挑選另外兩名知名女性作家，出版商表示他們將在托妮·莫里森（Toni Morrison）、安·蘭德（Ayn Rand）、瑪格麗特·阿特伍德（ Margaret Atwood）、 烏蘇拉·勒奎恩（Ursula LeGuin）、 哈珀·李（Harper Lee）、安妮·賴(lài)斯（Anne Rice）、碧翠絲.波特（Beatrix Potter）和弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫（Virginia Woolf）之中進(jìn)行選擇。這些書(shū)將被當(dāng)做是其“女性力量”系列的一部分發(fā)行，此前該系列已經(jīng)出版了莎拉·佩林、米歇爾·奧巴馬和希拉里·克林頓的卡通傳記。

The latest in comic book warfare pits two unlikely heroines against each other: JK Rowling and Stephenie Meyer. The bestselling authors are set to go head-to-head at the end of the year, when graphic novel biographies of each writer are lined up for publication.

Dressed in a purple off-the-shoulder dress and a golden necklace, Rowling's comic persona is somewhat more glamorous than that of Meyer, who sports a grey v-neck jumper. Whether this will prove more enticing to readers of the comics, which are scheduled for release in December and November respectively by US publisher Bluewater Productions, remains to be seen.

The Rowling graphic biography will follow her "rags to riches story", said Bluewater, from her middle-class upbringing, to her time in Portugal teaching English and her "meteoric rise" to bestsellerdom. Author Adam Gragg said Rowling was "a remarkable and multi-dimensional woman". "Learning about who she is and how she struggled to become a success was a truly enlightening experience," he said. "Twelve publishers turned her down. If it weren't for the daughter of a British publisher who liked Rowling's first chapter of Philosopher's Stone, we might never have met Harry Potter."

Meyer's story, meanwhile, will be narrated by a vampire "in a very fun, respectful and unique way", according to Bluewater president Darren G Davis.

The publisher is currently in the process of selecting two other prominent female authors for its comic book series, and said it was deliberating between Toni Morrison, Ayn Rand, Margaret Atwood, Ursula LeGuin, Harper Lee, Anne Rice, Beatrix Potter and Virginia Woolf. The books are being published as part of its Female Force series, which has already featured biographies of Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama and Hilary Clinton.
