This cover was just begging to be shared. The “comic” (I use the generic term for the format, but the book, apparently, is quite serious) book was released today. The cover looks like a campaign poster to me, and I like that for reasons that readers here well know.
Here is an account of the book’s release.
Hillary Clinton comic book hits newsstands
WASHINGTON (KABC) — She’s been the first lady, a U.S. senator and even secretary of state. Now, Hillary Clinton will be a comic book character.

Writer Jerome Maida said he approached the subject from the perspective of someone who didn’t admire Clinton at first but became impressed by her during the process of preparing the 32-page book.
I like his honesty. I think it would be hard for anyone to research her or follow her work and not be impressed.
There’s one way to appeal to the younger crowd.

Considering I am a young geek with a love of politics, how can I pass up a comic book about policy?
Perhaps someone is trying to figure out the best way to court the nerd vote? Your girls was the subject of a comic in 2009, but no one heard about it. This time the media really got the word out and have been talking it up. I have to wonder who it was and what was their motive.

I thought that one got enough hype. but I was not motivated to buy it. It was part of a series, as I remember. This might be also, but somehow I want it. The other one had a more comic bokky feel to it and the cover was lame, as I remember.

It was one of the first bio comics this company did. They turned out to be really popular so they’ve made a bunch more and the more they do it, the better the resulting comics are.
