Art from "Graphic Elvis" by Jeevan J. Kang/Liquid ComicsJust when it seems that every facet of Elvis Presley has been examined--yet another aspect of his life comes to light. The most recent? The King's love of comic books and superheroes, which are explored in a new book, Graphic Elvis.

"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic books," Elvis said in a 1971 speech. The graphic novel, a collaboration between publisher Liquid Comics and Elvis Presley Enterprises, takes this concept literally and actually sketches him as a superhero comic character.

Written by comic book legend Stan Lee (one of the masterminds behind Spider-Man and the Hulk) and illustrated by a variety of leading artists in the genre, the limited edition book explores a variety of striking artistic takes on Elvis's various iconic looks throughout the decades--including black leather, white jumpsuits, and even an army uniform.

TJ had already emerged as 14-year-old Paris Jackson's most visible family ally. Some have said he was more directly involved in her care than her previous guardian, Katharine, 82, who has suddenly become the human football of the Jackson family. TJ tweeted Paris with his support on July 23, publicly telling her, "I know it's completely unfair for them to do this to you and your brothers (Prince and Blanket). We

She never got a chance to write a memoir, but a lot of her life story is right there in ink—the romantic obsessions, the familial sweetness, the aspirations, the sauciness.

"It's a way of suffering for the things that mean a lot to you," she said about her penchant for going under the pen. "Actually I like the pain. To me, it relieves you."
Here's a look back at what Winehouse had to tell us through her body art:
