Now, Hillary Clinton will be a comic book character.<\/p>\n<p>The unauthorized comic book hits store shelves Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The publisher, Darren Davis, said the book is a type of biography and will cover her political career and personal life, <a href=\"http:\/\/abclocal.go.com\/kabc\/story?section=news\/entertainment&amp;id=8178350\">ABC reports with contributions from AP<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton&#8217;s comic is the latest in a series of comic book profiles from the publisher that also featured President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and pop stars Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n<p>The comic book plays it straight with history and politics. Davis said Clinton was the subject of a comic profile published in 2009 that sold 20,000 copies.<\/p>\n<p>Writer Jerome Maida said he approached the subject from the perspective of someone who didn&#8217;t admire Clinton at first but became impressed by her during the process of preparing the 32-page book.<\/p>\n<p>The front cover by DC Comics artist Joe Phillips features three images of Clinton under the banner of &#8220;political power.&#8221; Each image shows her in front of a microphone but clad in different attire. In the foreground is a podium with the seal of her office.<\/p>\n<p>The subject differs slightly from the comic two years ago, which focused on Clinton as a &#8220;female force&#8221; and was part of a larger series dedicated to empowering women.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She&#8217;s been the first lady, a US senator and even secretary of state.
