The 22-page comic, titled "Female Force: Beyoncé," traces her rise from pop royalty to a prominent feminist figure. It is part of TidalWave's ongoing series that highlights influential women, following previous editions on Lizzo, Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift.
“This comic offers a fresh perspective on Beyoncé’s evolution, showcasing her impact on music and culture,” Michael Frizell, the comic's author, said in a news release announcing the book. Illustrated by Ramon Salas, it will be available in both print and digital formats, with cover art by Pablo Martinena.
The release coincides with the success of Beyoncé’s latest musical project, "Cowboy Carter," an album that explores genre and history. Partially inspired by her 2016 performance of "Daddy Lessons" with The Chicks at the Country Music Association Awards, which sparked mixed reactions, the album made history by becoming the first album by a Black woman to top Billboard’s Country Albums chart.
The single "Texas Hold 'Em" also became the first country song by a Black woman to reach No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts.
Beyoncé’s influence extends beyond the music charts. She recently announced her new whiskey brand, SirDavis, inspired by her great-grandfather Davis Hogue, a moonshiner, and bottled in her hometown of Houston. Additionally, she has earned 17 nominations for the upcoming People’s Choice Country Awards and is also a nominee for two MTV Video Music Awards.
TidalWave Comics' titles, including "Female Force: Beyoncé," are available for digital download on platforms such as Kindle, iTunes, ComiXology and Google Play, among others.
