32-PAGE COMIC HIGHLIGHTS LIFE OF FORMER ‘JUST SAY NO’ CAMPAIGNING FIRST LADY
Bluewater’s Productions will be releasing a new comic book about the life of former First Lady and philanthropist Nancy Reagan. Female Force: Nancy Reagan is now available in print and digital.
They say behind every great man is a great woman. And behind every great President is a great First Lady. Ronald Reagan was one of the most revered President’s and his wife, Nancy Reagan remembered just as much as her husband during his tenure as president. Known for her famous “Just Say No!” campaign against drugs, Bluewater Productions presents Female Force: Nancy Reagan.
Michael Troy writes the 32-page comic book with art by Manuel Diaz, featuring a cover by Albert Pessoa.
Bluewater has showcased other First Ladies in the Female Force series such as Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. The comic book company has also released a comic book biography on Nancy’s husband in Political Power: Ronald Reagan.
“We wanted to showcase the strong women in today’s society that have inspired generations and shaped the culture of today,” Davis said. “Kids and adults alike can look up to these women as great role models. One of the coolest things about the comic books is that we found schools using them for reluctant readers.”
Female Force has featured actors, politicians, authors, and musicians—everyone from Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres, Sonia Sotomayor, Gabrielle Giffords, Condoleezza Rice to J.K. Rowling and Cher. These biographical comics, written by some of the most talented writers in the comic world and beyond, deliver an informed and illustrated look into the lives of these figures.
Bluewater has also used their Female Force series as an outlet to broaden awareness on important challenges that face many people. In “Female Force: Carrie Fisher,” the former Star Wars actress bravely shares her lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder. Proceeds from the comic book sales are donated to Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, a facility specializing in mental disorders. Likewise, Grease star Olivia Newton-John uses her “Female Force” issue as a platform to discuss her fight against breast cancer and raise awareness for the devastating disease.
Female Force has been embraced by the media and featured on several television news outlets including The Today Show and on CNN. The series has also been featured in many publications such as Forbes, MTV.com, Time Magazine, and People Magazine.
Upcoming Female Force subjects include talk show host and political commentator Laura Ingraham.
