TidalWave Comics is proud to announce the addition of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comic book to its popular “Female Force” series focused on series focused on female empowerment. “Female Force: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez” will be release on January 20th.
TidalWave has profiled politicians for more than eleven years using the unique storytelling properties of comic books.
The youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress, few politicians have captured the attention of the electorate like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. To the left side of the political aisle, she’s a young, hungry visionary who isn’t afraid to buck the system to serve as the voice of her generation. To the right, she’s an angry, wacky upstart poisoned by a liberal education system that failed her. Her out of nowhere defeat of Joe Crowley, the powerful 10-term representative of New York’s 14th District, is considered the defining moment of the 2018 election cycle. See what she is doing today.
Written by Michael Frizell, art by J. Travis Smith and Cornerstone Creative Studios, this 22-page comic book is available both digitally and in print and can be found on multiple platforms. Cover by famed comic book artist Dave Ryan.
“It is my hope that readers come away with a sense of the richness of the lives of our subjects. I was once a reluctant reader, and I found early-on that comic books engaged me in ways other mediums didn’t.” said publisher Darren G. Davis.
“This book was fun to write, partially because she’s polarizing on both the left and right, and partially because she’s a young person who dreamed big and saw early success. Love her or hate her, you can’t deny that she’s made her mark in a short amount of time. Some politicians never achieve the impact she has.” said writer Michael Frizell.
“While doing the research to draw this comic you’re reading I found that I was not very familiar with AOC outside what I’ve read in the headlines. What I did find outside of those headlines was a story of incredible determination and someone who rose through the ranks of society and society’s stigmas to become an almost overnight sensation in the world of politics and beyond. Whatever your opinion may be of her it’s hard to deny AOC of the respect that she deserves for her achievements. In short the American dream. It inspired me to draw it…hopefully for you to read it..
and for us all to live it.” said artist J Travis Smith
“I have to say that prior to being asked to work on this title, my knowledge of AOC was limited to her debates and activist outreaches along with words between her and President Trump. After doing more research to fully envelope myself into this project, she has shown herself to be more than a political polarizing figure but as ai learned, she is very young, proud and intelligent woman that shines as an example of what hard work, determination and dedication can do for you.. regardless of heritage, ethnicity, sex and obstacles that may stand in your way… We Can OVERCOME! For that, I would like to thank Darren Davis and Tidalwave Productions for opening a door of enlightenment to me. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant as the respect is still there. Cornerstone Creative Studios and I are proud to help bring this title to the world and hope to help spread the peace throughout as a result.” said Cornerstone Creative Studios, Jesse Hansen
