It’s been quite a year for Michelle Obama. So much so, that a follow-up to Bluewater Productions’ best selling "Female Force: Michelle Obama" biography comic book had to add a brand new chapter to the trailblazing First Lady’s story. Female Force: Michelle Obama: YEAR ONE” brings the First lady’s story up to date.
"Female Force" offers a broad examination of strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture. Davis notes other prominent and influential female authors, business executives, entertainers, journalists, politicians and activists are currently in development.
The brand new issue, scheduled for a March 24th release, picks up Obama’s story from her husband’s presidential inauguration and delves into the causes, the controversies and the chaos that shaped her first year in the White House.
“Even before the first issue on Michelle Obama, we realized we were following a dynamic, continuing portrait of history,” said Bluewater president Darren G. Davis. “I forsee several more chapters as she creates her own agenda and makes her own mark as a “female force.”
“Year One,” written by Robert Schnakenberg and cover by Azim, features her adjustment to living in the White House and follows her around the world as works to secure the 2016 Olympics for Chicago, meets the Queen of England, and makes her stand against childhood obesity.
“It's been an unpredictable twelve months worthy of its own full-length, full-color comic book chronicle,” Schnakenberg said.
According to Davis, the first issue, released last March, sold out a week before the comic was in stores. Davis acknowledges that enough copies are being printed this time around to ensure comic book shops, book stores and online outlets like Amazon can get the issues into the hands of fans.
The biographical comic series has drawn a firestorm of media attention in the past month, including features on “Live with Regis and Kelly,” CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, and in People magazine, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and thousands of blogs and other media outlets.
The series, to date, has published biographies on such influential women as Hillary Clinton, Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin Stephenie Meyer and Princess Diana. Later this month Ellen Degenerous will be released.
