We’ve always known that Dolly Parton is a superhero, but that status will get the official stamp of approval as she’s set to star in her very own comic book. This series has featured the likes of former First Lady Michelle Obama, US Vice-President Kamala Harris, music icon Cher, and veteran actress Betty White. According to the statement, the edition featuring Dolly will hit the markets on March 31, in print as well as digital formats.
Spotlight on Female Icons
Written by Michael Frizell, Ramon Salas has provided the art this comic strip. Publisher Darren G Davis has said that their readers have lately been interested in something beyond superheroes, and popular female icons have been welcomed with much love. “With Dolly Parton being among the most popular singer-songwriters of her time, selling over a hundred million records, and also reaching out to the marginalised with her amazing philanthropic work, she makes a great character for the comics.” said Davis. Frizell has further added that working with Dolly has been really great. He says that her visualizations of the pages, her work that has influenced the comics in art, music and philanthropy is just truly admirable.
Prominence of Dolly Parton
The ascent of country music superstar Dolly Parton from modest means to the most honored female country performer of all-time is empowering and inspirational. Dolly is a generous person and even helped fund the Covid vaccine early-research stages by giving a $1 million donation to the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee with Moderna on its Covid-19 vaccine. Tidal Wave Productions referred to Dolly Parton in a press release as a “powerhouse” and cited her successful acting and music careers, as well as the charitable work she does.
Michael Frizell, the issue’s writer, expressed excitement over the project, calling it a “joy,” on account of Dolly’s many creative and charitable accomplishments. Not someone to boast about her achievements, Dolly, turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice! People are wondering why she’s making an appearance despite being a singer; publisher Darren G. Davis explained, “We`ve found a niche with our bio comics. There is a much wider audience for sequential storytelling than many have thought. These viewers are simply looking for something other than superheroes.” And fans can’t wait.
