You know their songs, but do you know their stories? Over 20 comic book biographies spotlighting the lives of Alice Cooper, Bono, Ozzy Osbourne, Freddie Mercury, Keith Richards, the members of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, among many others published by TidalWave Comics have been updated into an exciting new format for readers.<\/p>\n
Thanks to a recent partnership with Ingram, TidalWave is releasing its engaging catalog of biography comics as high-quality books sporting vibrant colors and cardstock covers printed on demand.<\/p>\n
With music that influenced generations, it was only natural that a company priding itself on telling positive stories about the lives of politicians, actors, and celebrities would explore the lives of famous musicians.<\/p>\n
A frequent writer for TidalWave, Michael Frizell has explored the lives of dozens of musicians for the publisher. \u201cI like writing for TidalWave because they allow me wide latitude with artistic expression. At their core, the comic books tell true stories. True stories are always more interesting than fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n
The biography comic form allows TidalWave\u2019s talented writers to delve into the history of newsworthy figures and explore the events that shaped them.<\/p>\n
Other titles being released on subjects such as Metallica, Kurt Cobain, Prince, David Bowie, Jerry Garcia, Bon Jovi and more.<\/p>\n
Their line of biographical comic books has been featured on CNN, USA Today, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vanity Fair, The Today Show, FOX News, and in People Magazine among thousands of others, engaging readers of all ages with a mix of information and entertainment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to successful Hollywood franchises, comic books are enjoying considerable attention. Colleges build classes around the form, and graphic novels have become New York Times bestsellers,\u201d said Frizell. \u201cWhat I like about TidalWave\u2019s model is that they\u2019re not afraid to push the boundaries and challenge our beliefs regarding the comic book form.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2008, TidalWave\u2019s first foray into nonfiction told the backstories of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton, delving into a corner of the sequential art and storytelling market that was largely untapped.<\/p>\n
Educators will find TidalWave\u2019s robust catalog of graphic and literary novels now fully accessible, providing teachable moments for their students. Libraries can order books designed to educate and entertain communities, while comic book stores can capitalize on the focus of the lives of famous \u2013 and infamous \u2013 while adding credibility to the graphic form by sharing true stories that shape our lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a reluctant reader, I found the comic book form easy to access, so I always believed comics could both entertain and teach,\u201d said publisher and creative force Darren G. Davis.<\/p>\n
