Angelina Jolie is the latest powerful female to get the comic book treatment. The 35-year-old super star is the latest subject in Blue Water Productions' Female Force book series.
The 32-page comic book will "fill in the blanks surrounding Jolie's life," but told through from aid volunteers in Haiti's perspectives, according to the publisher.
Female Force: Angelina Jolie hits shelves in January for $3.99. The unauthorized biography comic is written by Brent Sprecher, with art from Nuno Nobre.
For his part, Sprecher hopes that his contribution to the Female Force lineup will shed some new light on an often misunderstood actress. "My hope is that this biography, in some small way, inspires others to follow Angelina Jolie's example and make helping those in need a part of their daily lives," Sprecher said.
