Hillary Clinton Gets Her Own Comic Book

Thanks to IDW, Barack Obama and John McCain have them – and now Hillary Clinton is getting her own comic book biography, from Bluewater Productions. The comic is due for release in January, in time for the Inauguration Day of either the man she was running against for the job, or John McCain.

“We’re excited to bring this book to the table,” says Bluewater’s Vice Preseident Jason Schultz in a company release. “There are a couple comics focusing on John McCain and Barack Obama, we wanted to feature Hillary who broke all the rules in this election and made history”

The comic, as seen at right, shares many of the same cover design elements as those of IDW’s upcoming Obama and McCain comics, but as Publisher Darren G. Davis put it, the idea behind the book is to draw the spotlight back to Clinton and her history-making run for the White House.

“Our goal is to show the historical impact that maybe underrated from by those who are too facetted [sic] on the candidates to fully understand the historical impact of being a few votes show for the 1st female president,” Davis says. “Many people are daunted by the endless stream of articles on the candidates. A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without loosing [sic] any of the information involved”.

Entitled Female Force: Hillary Clinton, the comic will tell the story of Clinton’s life from both sides: from those who saw her run as a positive contribution to the “new feminist ethos,” as well as from the point of view that were against her run for President.

“I am writing Hillary Clinton from a perceptive of someone who did not admire her at 1st and throughout the process of research has come to admire and be utterly fascinated by what is obviously the most underrated historical figure in modern History." says writer Neal Bailey.
