As the members of BTS fulfill their military service, their legacy in the entertainment realm continues to expand. In recognition of their monumental impact, TidalWave Comics is excited to introduce K-pop group BTS into its prestigious ‘FAME’ manga comic series. This special edition, titled ‘FAME: BTS,’ is set to be released on January 10th, 2024, to celebrate the global influence of these icons. However, ARMY, the fans of BTS, do not welcome this comic book. Why and what happened?
“FAME: BTS” Comic Will Be Available in Digital and Print Versions
Authored by Eric M. Esquivel and illustrated by Lucy Fidelis Arts, this 22-page comic will be available in digital and print versions on various platforms, including Amazon. It features a cover by Paulo Teles Yonami, enhanced with Alexandre Starling’s coloring.
BTS, also known as the “Bulletproof Boy Scouts,” has made a significant impact, breaking stereotypes and setting sales records. However, their mandatory service in the South Korean Military interrupts their momentum. This comic book, ‘FAME: BTS,’ captures their transition from global music icons to soldiers.
Writer Eric M. Esquivel expressed his excitement about providing entertainment for ‘The BTS Army’ during BTS’s military service. He highlighted the group’s resilience and the significance of their journey.
“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to entertain ‘The BTS Army’ while the boys are putting their ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts’ claim to the test in the actual South Korean military!”

Meanwhile, Lucy Fidelis, the artist, shared her experience of working on the BTS comic. The illustrator emphasizes the joy and creativity involved in portraying the group’s remarkable story.
“Exploring the comics universe with the BTS was a delightful journey, where every stroke, word, and scene became strokes of joy. We crafted a captivating narrative that reflects the brilliance and magic of BTS’s extraordinary journey.”

The “FAME” series, featuring in “Rolling Stone,” “Time,” and “People” magazines, has previously profiled stars like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Lil Nas X, Drake, and Selena Gomez.
