Madonna's life story to be subject of comic book
(CBS/AP) Madonna will soon find herself in a new kind of material world: inside a comic book.
The star will have her life story told in 32 pages by Bluewater Productions Inc., the latest celebrity to be part of its monthly line of "Female Force" comics.
The one-shot issue, due out in August for $3.99, will look at her life as it transformed from a little-known singer into a multimillion-record-selling entertainer and trendsetter.
Bluewater's Vice President Jason Schultz said in a statement, "Our goal is to show the little-known events and influences that resulted in Madonna becoming the phenomenon she remains to this day, more than a quarter-century after she burst upon the scene. A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without losing any of the information involved".
"Most pop stars owe everything to this woman. It's amazing all of the things that she's done in her lifetime, and I have a feeling that this is still only the beginning," CW Cooke, who wrote the story, added.
The issue joins a growing collection of similar titles from the Vancouver, Wash.-based publisher. Previous subjects in the monthly "Female Force" series have included Betty White, Michelle Obama, Barbara Walters, Sarah Palin and J.K. Rowling, among others.
