(Reuters) - The story of South Korean rap sensation Psy's ascent to global stardom with his megahit "GangnamStyle" has now been immortalized in full colour and with appropriate dramatic flourishes in a comic book.
"Fame:Psy", which went on sale in the United States and South Korea on Wednesday, focuses mainly on what went into making "Gangnam Style," which catapulted the sunglassed singer with the garish jackets to global fame and became YouTube's most popular song ever with more than 1.5 billion hits.
