First. This comic was planned for Betty White's 100th birthday. Betty though died several weeks before story could be published. The comic was writing were clearly biographical. It gave history of such things as where Betty was born. How she got her start on infancy time of television. How she had failed first marriage. How she played many different roles on television like on Mary Tyler Moore show and The Golden Girls. It talked how she fell in love with her second husband who was the host of television show called Password. Her second husbands name was Allen Ludden. The story talked about her love even as child of animals. The story talked about sadness when Allen Ludden died from cancer.
I thought art was wonderful five star out of five. The issue showed great respect for not only Betty White but people that she worked with through the years.
I have so much respect for this comic book going to borrow exact write up about comic from TitalWave Comics website.
TidalWave Comics celebrates the life of Betty White by adding her life story to its “Tribute” comic book biography series, released in time for the icon’s birthday which is January 17th.
Written by Michael Frizell and Patrick McCray and illustrated by Ramon Salas and Todd Tenant, this 30-page comic book is available digitally and in print and can be found on multiple platforms such as Amazon. The book will be as a softback and a hardcover book.
It says a lot about a person’s life and legacy if people think she died too soon at 99. “Tribute: Betty White” traces the extraordinary life of the actor, writer, wit, and humanitarian who has also been Hollywood’s most enduring ‘it girl’ for seven-plus decades. Tracing her life from the earliest days of television to her time on the “Golden Girls” and recent social media fame, the comic explores her love, drive, and enduring success. This is a bonus edition comic book biography on the life of icon Betty White.
“The Tribute line of comic books tells the stories of the classic entertainers that have passed on,” says TidalWave’s publisher, Darren G. Davis. “It is a way for us to honor these people who have made a difference in the world. We were saddened by her passing and hoping to do a celebration book for her 100th birthday. As a great performer as she was, she did leave the world wanting more.”
“In a culture where getting old is often the death knell of a Hollywood career, Betty White was as popular as ever before her death. Why? What you saw is what you got, and her wit and charm shone through.” said writer Michael Frizell.
