Undoubtedly historic, Hillary Clinton’s life has had a major impact on politics over the last twenty years. Rather than focusing on her beginnings as the first comic did, this issue will focus on the events that led to her being picked for her current position of power, Secretary of State in the Obama Administration.
“We’re excited to bring this book to the table,” says Bluewater’s Vice President Jason Schultz.” The first comic did extremely well and she remains a very popular and compelling figure.”
Publisher Darren G. Davis said, “ Our goal is to show the behind-the scenes machinations – many of them ignored by the mainstream media – that resulted in Hillary Clinton becoming the current Secretary of State. A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without losing any of the information involved”.
This 32-page comic book will be chronicling this saga, “Political Power: Hillary Clinton” will explore all sides of the issue, from her positive contribution to Barack Obama’s ascendancy to the detractors who argue against her attempt to secure the nomination to the bitter end. Though her hopes for the presidency now seem a longshot, interest is still strong and steadfast for what might have been the first female presidential nominee in history. Join Bluewater Productions as we examine the enigma of Hillary Clinton and how she took under her wing the man who would eventually wrest the nomination she felt was destined to be her’s.
“I am writing Hillary Clinton from a perceptive of someone who did not admire her at first and throughout the process of research has come to admire and be utterly fascinated by what is a tale that most have not reported on.”, says “Clinton” writer Jerome Maida. We delve into how her decision not to run in 2004 helped make Barack Obama a star, how she took him under her wing and how their battle was more personal than many realize – and how close she came to saying no to the position of Secretary of State and what changed her mind. it’s a fascinating story.
