I have been reading some of the press about the Ted Kennedy comic book. Some made me laugh and some is kinda insane. For the record we sent out the press release about "Political Power: Ted Kennedy" at 11:00 am yesterday and found out a 6am today that he passed away. People that are writing that we did this knowing that he was going to die. I have to say that I am not that good to predict his death the day before we sent out the press release.
We have critics who say we "kill people", yes we did a Michael Jackson after he passed because he was a huge comic book fan. We are not rushing it out and having it come out October. We are also working with his official fan club to make this something for his fans. We do biography comic books, it is what we do. The "Political Power:Ted Kennedy" comic book was started in March when we started to develop the title, it was solicited through Diamond in June of this year. It has been on TFAW for over a month as well... We have also done biographies on Ronald Reagan and Princess Diana and they have been dead long than I have done comic books.
TIME Magazine is rushing out a Ted Kennedy issue out for this Friday. A ton of periodicals did specials on Michael Jackson. So I am in good company.
