Man learns casino losses not deductible
CHICAGO, March 14 (UPI) -- Demand for an upcoming biographical comic book about U.S. first lady Michelle Obama is strong, its publisher says.
Bluewater Productions of Washington says interest in the Obama comic book is sky-high, with distributors temporarily suspending orders as the Bluewater catches up with the demand, The Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.
"I feel like the guy who invented the Furby," Bluewater President Darren Davis told the newspaper. "The reaction has been insane."
The Michelle Obama comic reportedly is scheduled to be officially released April 25, selling for $3.99. The issue depicts the first lady growing up in Chicago, going to Princeton University and helping Barack Obama become the 44th U.S. president.
The comic book is part of Bluewater's upbeat "Female Force" series, and avoids controversial issues, the Tribune said.
