PHILADELPHIA – Madonna will soon find herself in a whole new material world: the pages of a comic book.
The star will have her life story told in 32 pages by Bluewater Productions Inc., the latest celebrity to be part of its semi-regular line of “Female Force” comics, the publisher said Thursday.
“Our goal is to show the little-known events and influences that resulted in Madonna becoming the phenomenon she remains to this day, more than a quarter-century after she burst upon the scene,” said Jason Schultz, Bluewater’s executive vice-president. “A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without losing any of the information involved.”
The one-shot issue – due out in August for $3.99 and written by C.W. Cooke and drawn by Michael Johnson – will look at her life as it transformed from a little-known singer into a multimillion-record-selling entertainer and trendsetter.
“Most pop stars owe everything to this woman. It’s amazing all of the things that she’s done in her lifetime, and I have a feeling that this is still only the beginning,” Cooke said of Madonna.
The issue joins a growing collection of similar titles from the Vancouver, Wash.-based publisher. Previous subjects in the “Female Force” series that have included Betty White, Michelle Obama, Barbara Walters, Sarah Palin and Margaret Thatcher, among others.
