Days before the curtain rises on the latest film adaptation of the popular Twilight saga novels, a biography comic featuring author Stephenie Meyer will be available at bookstores, comic shops, and online venues this Wednesday.Female Force: Stephenie Meyer, scheduled for release on November 11th, provides readers two options: a standard, 22-page version, and a double-sized graphic novel collector's edition that contains a variety of extras - such as the history of Forks, the Washington peninsula town where her stories take place. The title was written by Ryan Burton and drawn by Dave MacNeil. Vinnie Tartamella provides the cover art.
"We get to turn the tables on Meyers and she becomes the featured protagonist," said Bluewater’s president Darren Davis. "We examine her rise to popularity, her Twilight saga novels, the launching of the successful movie franchise, and her future plans. And we use a very recognizable and iconic vampire to tell her story."
Meyer, Named USA Today's "Author of the Year" in 2008, is the first author of fiction featured in the Female Force series. The series, to date, has published biographies on such influential women as Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin, and Princess Diana. Female Force offers a broad examination of strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture.
"Stephenie Meyer has captured the imagination of millions. She has parlayed her stories into a cottage industry and that’s why we felt she was indeed a 'Female Force,'" Davis added. "Also, I’m hooked on the books like everyone else!" Davis notes other prominent and influential female authors, business executives, entertainers, journalists, politicians and activists are currently in development.
The Los Angeles Times says, "If you are into Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight wave, you’ll want to get this book…"
The suggested retail price (SRP) for the upcoming trade paperback is $3.99 for the standard 22-page version, and $6.99 for the 40-page collectors edition. The ISBN for the graphic novel is: 978-1427641847.
The Rundown will post a sneak-preview of Female Force: Stephenie Meyer later today.
