Political Comic Books - Who Knew?

August 12, 2009 -

While we relentlessly track the intersection of video games and politics here on GP, we never realized that there are comic books detailing the careers of political figures.

For that tidbit of info we thank the ECA's Brett Schenker. Via Brett's Graphic Policy blog we learned about Bluewater Productions, which offers graphic novels detailing the political careers of, among others, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others.

The publisher's Female Force series covers Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Caroline Kennedy. Even the Obama family dog, Bo, will be star of his own comic book next month.

If you're into graphic novels and/or politics, it's worth checking out.

FULL DISCLOSURE DEPT: The ECA is the parent company of GamePolitics.

I'm surprised graphic policy is still around. Nearly every single post has exactly 0 comments. (except for the one i just posted)
