Melville House Books

While we await the deluge of books about Barack Obama, something to while away the hours: a comic book about Michelle Obama. A press release from Bluewater Productions announces the future First Lady will be part of its ongoing “Female Force” series, in an April 2009 release that “will follow Obama, a Princeton- and Harvard-educated lawyer, from her youth on the South Side of Chicago to her community, civic service and private-sector career successes through the 2008 presidential campaign and election day.” Previously in the series: Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.
