[highlight]Brazilian football star Neymar was on hand for the launch of his own comic book.[/highlight]
The 68-page comic ‘Neymar Jr.’ is scheduled to be released monthly.
The Santos star joins the ranks of Pelé and Ronaldinho in an elite group of soccer stars to have been drawn by Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa.
The strip follows in the tradition of comics such as Roy of the rovers, a British comic about the life of a fictional footballer named Roy Race.
Speculation is rife over whether a heavily-pocketed European club could lure the highest paid Brazilian player away from his native country continue ahead of the 2014 world cup.
