Emmy-winning talk show hostess Ellen DeGeneres is a new “force” in the comic book world.<\/p>\n
DeGeneres is being immortalized in ink in the latest issue of Bluewater Productions’ smash Female Force biographical comic book series.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n The 38-page graphic novel — illustrated by Pedro Ponzo — follows the comedienne from her youth in rural Louisiana through her journey to working on the comedy club circuit all the way to her current role as a personable Emmy-winning daytime talk show host. The comic is also expected to tackle tougher issues, like Ellen’s life as an openly gay performer, an advocate for gay rights, and the cancellation of her hit ABC series that followed her public coming out in 1997.<\/p>\n “It is part of who she is and any telling of her story without acknowledging the importance she places on her identity would be disrespectful to her accomplishments,” <\/em>says Sandra C. Ruckdeschel, who penned the book.<\/p>\n The newest American Idol<\/em> judge is one of many influential women who’ve been featured in Bluewater series: others include Stephenie Meyer, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin, and Hillary Clinton. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the comic book will benefit Ellen’s favorite charity, The Humane Society of the United States. <\/p>\n Female Force: Ellen DeGeneres<\/em> goes on sale for $3.99 this Wednesday. <\/p>\n Visit Amazon.com<\/a> for more information on how you can pick up your own Ellen Comic.
