TidalWave Comics announces the addition of Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley to its popular “Political Power” comic book series focused on the politicians who shape our country. “Political Power: Ron DeSantis” will be released on May 3rd, and “Political Power Nikki Haley” will be released later this year.
For the past 14 years, TidalWave Productions’ line of “Political Power” comic books biographies have explored the lives of the politicians who have made the election both a test of wills and a referendum on disparate ideologies.
Recent volumes focused on Democrats such as Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Republicans such as George HW Bush, Rand Paul, and Amy Coney Barrett.
Both comic books are written by Michael Frizell and illustrated by Martin Gimenez. The 22-page comic books will be available digitally, in print, and on multiple platforms like Amazon. In addition, the books will be available in softcover and hardcover. Pablo Martinena does the covers.
Ron Desantis, the 46th Governor of Florida, is a rising star in the GOP. As a possible candidate for the presidency, he is one of the few Republicans in a position to challenge Donald Trump for the nomination in the 2024 election. This biography explores the governor’s formative years as a student at Yale and Harvard, a legal advisor to Seal Team Six during this stint as a JAG officer, and a founding member of the Freedom Caucus and beyond. DeSantis is poised to be a pivotal player in the GOP, embracing its stance on immigration, education, and more. Can a governor win the culture war currently exploding on social media?

Nikki Haley has always felt like an outsider, but a better label would be “trailblazer.” She’s the first Indian American to hold office in South Carolina, the first female governor of the state, the youngest governor in the United States, and only the second governor of Indian descent. Born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa in Bamberg gave her a unique perspective as she battled racism and religious disparity to become the Ambassador to the United Nations. As a presidential hopeful in 2024, Nikki Haley’s platform supports establishing a national 15-week abortion ban with exceptions, cutting expenditures to countries that “hate the U.S.,” fixing the border crisis without open border policies, cutting taxes, and other conservative issues.
“We’ve found a niche with our bio comics,” said Davis. “Our success with this comic shows a much wider audience for sequential storytelling than many thought. These readers are simply looking for something other than superheroes or horror. With our bio comics, we strive to bring these new readers evenhanded, well-researched looks into the political world.”
“Writing about political figures is challenging, especially when factoring in the unfortunate tribalism and polarization of the political parties. My job is to thread the space between opposing viewpoints to paint a clear picture of her using available resources,” said writer Michael Frizell.
“During every election cycle, we focus on the frontrunners of both parties because we want to present a fair and unbiased look into the candidates while entertaining readers,” said publisher Darren Davis. “We owe that to fans of the series.”
The “Political Power” series serves as a pop-culture companion to TidalWave’s successful “Female Force,” “Tribute,” “Orbit,” and “Fame” series. The biography comic form allows TidalWave’s talented writers to delve into the history of specific newsworthy figures and explore the past, which shaped them.
TidalWave Productions’ biographical comic books have been featured on CNN, Politico, Roll Call, The Today Show, FOX News Channel, and People Magazine.
TidalWave Comics’ vast catalog of titles can also be downloaded digitally from Kindle, iTunes, EPIC!, ComiXology, Global Comics, Google Play, Overdrive, Library Pass, Biblioboard, Nook, Kobo and wherever eBooks are sold.
