Ellen the Comic

When I think of Ellen Degeneres I think of one of my favourite comics, a woman who can make me laugh out loud with very little effort.  However, it appears that the good folks at Bluewater Productions have taken this literally and made Ellen’s life the subject of a comic, a comic book that is!

The comic book is part of a series called Female Force which also includes the likes of Sarah Palin (lord help us) not to menation Michelle Obama.  Bluewater president Darren G. Davis has said

Ellen and her organization were very generous by embracing this book. That’s why we are happy to share a percentage of the proceeds with her favorite charity; the Humane Society.

The comic tells the story of Ellen’s life from childhood to stand up comic to Emmy Award winning talk show host and American Idol judge. The 38 page comic also includes illustrations of Ellen’s wedding to actress Porta de Rossi.

The book is written by Sandra C. Ruckdeschel who has said, in relation to Ellen living openly as a gay woman:

It is part of who she is and any telling of her story without acknowledging the importance she places on her identity would be disrespectful to her accomplishments

Well said Sandra, I couldn’t agree more.  It will be interesting to see how this one turns out, you can purchase the comic on Amazon here for $3.99.

  • Am I the only one who thinks this is weird? I love the fact that she’s a hero(ine) and stuff but a comic?
