| | |  J.K. Rowling gets Female Force comic book
J.K. Rowling will receive comic book treatment courtesy of Female Force, a biographical look at the author by Bluewater Productions. MTV have exclusively revealed the cover art, which can be seen in our galleries.
Quote:
The comic promises to chronicle the "rags to riches story of a woman receiving government financial assistance through her ascendancy in becoming one of the world’s most recognizable writers."
The book, written by Adam Gragg with interior art by Matthew Filer and cover art by Joshua Labello, will be out in December (Amazon lists the release date as January 13th 2010), in two formats; a standard, 23-page comic and a 'double-sized collector’s edition'. Quote:
“J.K. Rowling created a renaissance in children’s and young adult literature. She inspires a legion of fans and it will be fascinating to follow how many future writers will point to her work as their original source of inspiration,” said Bluewater’s president Darren Davis.
Quote:
“She is a remarkable and multi-dimensional woman,’” Gragg noted, “Learning about who she is and how she struggled to become a success was a truly enlightening experience. Twelve publishers turned her down. If it weren’t for the daughter of a British publisher who liked Rowling’s first chapter of ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, we might never have met Harry Potter.”
Quote:
“"I've been a fan of the Potter books for many years. It has been fascinating discovering the parts of her life that inspired her to write one of the most inspired book series of the modern age. It's been an honor to pay tribute to a writer I truly respect & enjoy. "
“Rowling is truly a female force. She is responsible for millions of children (and some adults) picking up books and getting hooked on reading,” Davis added.
It can be pre-ordered at Amazon here and Amazon UK here.  | |

I wonder, what do you think J.K. Rowling feels about it, she's so modest, you see! 
But it seems so cool anyway! I'll probably read it!

How kewl.
*reads the preview* OMG! Jo runs around on her magical unicorn Cupcake and she's from an island of amazon's called Themyscera where she was trained to be an ambassador for peace ... she can deflect bullets with her gold wrist bands and throws her tiara as a boomerang ...  No wait that's Wonder Woman.
I love Linda Carter
Still, this is so cool ... I'm sure it'll be collectible so people should pre-order loads of copies ... or maybe they'll print a massive amount and it'll be worth the same as all those issues of Adolescent Radioactive Mice 
*goes off to read Wonder Woman*
