Bluewater Productions has announced that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling will be the subject of its next Female Force biographical comic book.  Due out in December, Female Force: J.K. Rowling is written by Adam Gregg and drawn by Matthew Filer.  It will be available in a standard 23-page comic ($3.99) and in a double-size Collector’s Edition ($6.99) that will include a variety of extra features.

 

After anchoring its Female Force line with controversial political figures such as Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, Bluewater has shifted its focus to incredibly popular authors with huge built-in fan bases.  First came a biographical comic of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, followed by this comic book life of Rowling, who has more than half a billion copies of her Harry Potter books in print.

 

Bluewater can only hope that Rowling is less protective of her own image and private life than she is of her creation.  The author won a landmark “Fair Use” case against the author and publisher of an unauthorized Harry Potter Lexicon (see “J.K. Rowling Wins ‘Fair Use’ Case”).
