'Tiger King' set to roar into the comic book world

In this Netflix publicity photo, Joseph 'Joe Exotic' Maldonado-Passage is seen with one of his tigers. In June, US comics company Tidalwave Productions will issue the 'Tiger King' comic, featuring two covers, one featuring Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin and the other a colourful "blinged" out tiger.

Tiger King, the compelling true crime series set in the world of private zoos and their eccentric owners, is getting the comic book treatment.

Tidalwave Productions said on Tuesday it has added the story to its Infamous series of pop culture comic books after the Netflix television series became a worldwide phenomenon.
