Parton is set to have her life story featured as the latest edition in the Female Force comic series from TidalWave Comics. The series focuses on women who have made an impact on the world with past editions profiling the likes of Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Barbra Streisand, Tina Fey, Betty White, and more.
The 22-page comic book was written by Michael Frizell with art made by Ramon Salas and will be released digitally and in print on March 31.
“Writing about Dolly was a joy,” writer Michael Frizell said in a statement. “I’m thrilled with the expressive way the artist visualized the pages. The book feels timeless. Her creativity, philanthropy, and humanity are legendary.”
“We’ve found a niche with our bio comics,” TidalWave publisher Darren G. Davis added in a statement. “Our success with this comic shows that there is a much wider audience for sequential storytelling than many have thought. These readers are simply looking for something other than superheroes. With our bio comics, we strive to bring these new readers evenhanded, well-researched looks at some of their favorite celebrities.”
