BlueWater Launches Michelle Obama Comic

Posted on November 14, 2008

Michelle Obama will be the subject of the latest chapter of Bluewater Productions' comic book series called "Female Force.". The comic will follow Michelle Obama, a Princeton- and Harvard-educated lawyer, from her youth on the South Side of Chicago to her community, civic service and private-sector career successes through the 2008 presidential campaign and election day. It is scheduled for release in April 2009. The First Lady is pictured wearing a black dress with a light blue color and a statement necklace on the cover.

Bluewater Productions President Darren G. Davis says in a statement, "Mrs. Obama is a dynamic force and one of the most influential women in the world. Her potential influence on future policy decisions makes her a fascinating figure to feature."

"In creating an image of our new first lady, Michelle Obama, it was my goal to represent her class, beauty and intelligence," said artist Vinnie Tartamella. "I hope I reflected these qualities and characteristics in this historical piece. I'm truly honored to have been asked to create this."

This political comic series started with Sen. Hillary Clinton and Gov. Sarah Palin comics. The company has also made comics featuring Barack Obama and John McCain. Earlier this year IWD Publishing created comics for John McCain and Barack Obama.
