In honor of Black History Month (February, 2010), comic book publisher Bluewater Productions will offer a special trade paperback called Black History: Leaders featuring biographies of leading African-American personalities."We live in historic times," said Bluewater president, Darren Davis. "African-Americans have reached the highest levels of government and the highest levels of industry. Our book is simply a testament to their achievements."
The 96-page anthology includes the unabridged issues featuring Barack Obama, Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, and Condoleezza Rice. These biographies were previously published as individual issues of Bluewater’s biographical comic titles, Female Force and Political Power.
Additionally, the Washington-based publisher announced two other related titles to be released in February: Political Power: Nelson Mandela and Female Force: Michelle Obama, Year One. The Michelle Obama issue is the first sequel in the Female Force series. The first issue was published in January 2009. Obama, Year One is written by Robert Schnakenberg and drawn by Tess Fowler.
Political Power: Nelson Mandela is that series' first feature of a non-American politician. This issue is written by Clay & Susan Griffith and draw by Pablo Martinena. "Mandela is a transcendent hero. We are thrilled to present his life story in this format and eager to expand the scope of our biographic subjects beyond our borders," Davis added.
The suggested retail price (SRP) for the upcoming trade paperback is $15.99. The individual issue SRP is $3.99.
