Businesswoman and philanthropist Melinda Gates will star in a new comic book about her life.
The same firm, Bluewater Productions, did a comic base on her spouse Bill Gates earlier this year..
The book will be called Female Force: Melinda Gates on September 4 as both a print and digital book.
Writer Melissa Seymour wrote the 32-page book and artist Manuel Diaz illustrated it. Albert Pessoa created the cover.
“Writing comic books on influential, strong, intelligent women — does it get better than that?” said Seymour. “It’s so important to shine light on the accomplishments of women because then young girls will think, ‘Hey, I want to be just like her!'”
The Female Force series has featured other well-known women, including Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres, Sonia Sotomayor, Michelle Obama and Gabrielle Giffords.
Future subjects will include Laura Ingraham, Gloria Steinem and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
