TidalWave Comics is proud to present the story of the daughter of a nightclub promoter who rose to the pinnacle of TV journalism. Learn about her legendary interviews, her battles with sexism, and the men she loved and lost along the way in this tribute to a fantastic journalist who knew how to ask difficult questions to get to the heart of a story.
“We were honored to work with Barbara on a “Female Force” biography comic book years ago. She gave us her insight and exclusive info which we have used in this issue as well. She was amazing and inspiring to work with. says TidalWave’s publisher, Darren G. Davis. “The Tribute line of comic books tells the stories of the classic icons that have passed on. It is a way for us to honor these people who have made a difference in the world.”
Barbara Walters said this about the comic book, “It is great, it’s got absolutely everything about my life, including some things I wish they did not. It is nice to have a comic book version of “Audition”.
The media embraced the TRIBUTE comic line and featured on several television news outlets, including The Today Show, The View, E! News, The Tonight Show, and CNN. The series has also been featured in many publications such as Vanity Fair, MTV, Time, and Rolling Stone.
TidalWave Productions has focused its biographies on past celebrities such as Selena, Loretta Lynn, Carrie Fisher, Prince, David Bowie, Elizabeth Taylor, and more.
