Female Political Superheroes Comic Books

Michelle Obama. A wife, mother, sister, friend, First Lady, and last but not least a superhero. First Lady Michelle Obama is the newest superhero, or should we say superwoman, in a new series of comic books called the Female Force series. President of Bluewater Productions, Darren Davis, came up with the idea. The comic book series features strong, influential, political women that have helped change the world in a positive manner. Other superhero women featured in the series are Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Senator Hillary Clinton, Princess Diana, and Caroline Kennedy; just to name a few.

First Lady Michelle Obama's twenty-five page comic features her life story. The story starts with her life in Chicago and living on the south side, it also describes her college career at Princeton, and goes on to describe her life during the campaign trail. There are aspects of Michelle Obama's life that most of the public does not know about, but will be revealed in the comic book. For example, there is a link between Barney the Dinosaur and the First Lady.

Senator Hillary Clinton's comic was a thirty-two page issue. It featured her story as a feminist as well as working towards her nomination for president. Neal Bailey wrote this issue and said that she is an underrated historical figure of our time. He was quoted saying this on the Bluewater Production's website. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's comic is also a thirty two page issue. It highlights a biography of her life starting from the time she was the president of the Parent Teacher Association. It also tells about her nomination as John McCain's running mate for their bid as president and vice presidential candidates. Her comic was written with two potential endings; one with her one and the second with her loss for entering the White House.

The comic books have certainly become a hit and have sold out of the first and second printed copies. A third printing of Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Sarah Palin's copies are planned so that interested parties can purchase and read about the women's stories. Not only are these comic books entertaining, they are educational and controversial. The new series Female Force teaches the readers about independent women's lives, and can also inspire a new generation to become an iconic role model. Girls and women that have helped shape modern history can be displayed in through a tasteful comic book series that represents them in a positive light.
