New graphic novel to tell life story of Undertaker

The Undertaker's life story is the focus of an upcoming graphic novel.

"WWE: Undertaker" is set to be released in October 2018 by BOOM! Studios, and promises "new revelations and surprises" as it delves into the 28-year career of the wrestling legend.

"One of the big challenges is that he is such a unique character in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment," Boom! Studios editor Chris Rosa told Tim Fiorvanti of ESPN.com. "Even though he has gone through multiple phases, multiple looks during that career, he's been the one constant in that universe for almost 30 years."

Boom! Studios enlisted the help of Chad Dundas, a longtime combat sports journalist who has followed The Undertaker's career from the beginning, to tell his story. The graphic novel also features illustrations by Rodrigo Lorenzo and cover art by Oliver Barrett.

"One of the most fun parts of a project like this is getting to take those deep dives into these big relationships in The Undertaker's career," Dundas said. "(A) deep dive into how he got hooked up with Paul Bearer. A deep dive into his relationship with Kane. Trying to imagine what conversations between the two of them would have been like backstage after Kane debuts and The Undertaker realizes that this brother that he thought had died when he was a child, is still alive."
