| Female Force: Ellen Degeneres |
Female Force: Ellen DeGeneres, scheduled for a March 2010 release, follows the comedienne from her youth in Louisiana, through the endless smoke-filled comedy club circuit, to her breakthrough sitcom, and finally through her role as an Emmy-winning daytime talk show host.
“People forget what a groundbreaking talent she is and that fame did not come overnight,” said Bluewater president Darren Davis. “But through all her highs and lows, she managed to stay true to herself and prove that she is a female force.”
The issue, written by Sandra C. Ruckdeschel and penciled by Pedro Ponzo, also delves into Ellen’s personal life as an openly gay performer and an advocate for gay rights. “It is part of whom she is and any telling of her story without acknowledging the importance she places on her identity would be disrespectful to her accomplishments,” said Ruckdeschel.
According to Davis, fans of Ellen will be able to revisit several of the entertainer’s most iconic moments, including her 1986 appearance on the Tonight Show, the 1997 episode of her sitcom where her character announces she is gay, her entrance as host of the 2006 Oscars, and even her “trademark” dance moves. It evens covers the recent announcement of Ellen joining the judging panel for American Idol.
The suggested retail price (SRP) for the upcoming trade paperback is $3.99.
