Political biographies of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger have never really attained liftoff. Perhaps the best of them was Laurence Leamer’s 2005 ”Fantastic: The Life of Arnold Schwarzenegger” – “a tale of relentless self-promotion,” as Publishers Weekly said. But the governor’s own autobiography, “Education of a Bodybuilder” – written when the recall of Gray Davis was far in the unanticipated future – sold a lot more books.
Perhaps 100,000 words between hard covers isn’t the proper format for the story of this larger-than-life, if presently politically unpopular, figure. That’s the thinking over at Bluewater Productions, which just published the “engaging story” of the governor’s life as a $3.99 comic book.
“Arnold Schwarzenegger is the governor of the most populated state in the country,” said publisher Darren Davis in a news release. “He is undeniably an important man. He was also the most sought-after action movie star in more than a decade.
“Arnold Schwarzenegger certainly deserves his own comic.”
Bluewater has already done a comic on the life of former general and Secretary of State Colin Powell. And in a 96-pager, it depicted the careers of presidents Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama. Meanwhile, Bluewater’s “Female Force” series features Mrs. Obama, Princess Di and Condoleezza Rice.
