The diminutive singing sensation from Down Under's story
is told in a new comic book “Female Force: Kylie Minogue.” Kylie’s colorful experiences are brought to
life as we follow the star’s ups and downs.
From capturing Australia’s hearts in “Neighbours” to the life &
loves of a national treasure, and her brave struggle with cancer.
The single issue is out on December 26th. Written by Steven Stone and drawn by Jill
Lamarina. “Working on the Kylie comic
was a challenge but an enjoyable one. Kylie has had an iconic career that has
touched so many people. I wanted to do her story justice. I hope you all enjoy
It,” said Stone.
Bluewater will be doing a digital 1st in comic
books. They will be giving exclusive
digital covers to ITunes and My Digital Comics. Which will be revealed on
December 26th by the fan site http://kylie-unlimited.com. Jon Woodard does
both of the collectible “superhero” inspired covers. Other digital locations will feature the
mainstream cover by Fred Grivaud. “Kylie is so epic in her presence, she was
perfect for comics,” said Jon Woodard.
“I love telling the stories of women who make difference
in society, which is why we chose Kylie Minogue as the subject to the “Female
Force” line”. Said publisher Darren G.
Davis “Not only is she an amazing music artist but story as well as the
struggles about her breast cancer is inspiring.” “We did a similar comic book for breast
cancer awareness month with another Aussie Olivia Newton-John. It is great when
we can educate as well as inform,“ said Davis.
