Forks, WA based 98331 GEAR has teamed up with Bluewater Productions to release a special edition of the highly popular Female Force comic book featuring Stephenie Meyer. "We are very excited for this opportunity to work with such talented artists. At 98331 GEAR we pride ourselves on having high quality, unique items for Twilight fans to purchase," said Staci Chastain, one of the owners. "We carry very few of the mass produced merchandise, opting to carry higher-end versions. Our clientele is finicky and we like that about them. This is why we chose to team up with BlueWater Productions when approached. They offered a totally unique cover to a wildly popular comic book."The comic, written by Ryan Burton (Flying Saucers vs The Earth) examines Meyer’s rise to popularity, her Twilight saga novels, the launching of the successful movie franchise and her future plans. According to Burton, a very recognizable and iconic vampire will serve as the story’s narrator.
The title is being drawn by Dave MacNeil and the 98331 GEAR cover is painted by Matt Bellisle. The first Exclusive cover for another Forks store, DAZZLED BY TWILIGHT, which was done by Azim.
Chastain continues, “We are very excited about our cover, we feel the artist really took our request to be different to heart in designing it. Already we have people asking when the graphic novels will be available for purchase. And for those of you who want to have something just a bit more exclusive we will also be offering a very limited edition foil cover. There will only be 100 of these EVER made so get your hands on them while you can as they most definitely will not last”.
Meyer, Named USA Today's "Author of the Year" in 2008, is the first author of fiction featured in the Female Force series. Female Force offers a broad examination of strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture.
