Alaskan Graphic

News from the publishing world (hey, we're just reportin'):
Sarah Palin graphic biography sells out at US bookshops

Our Governor Mrs. Todd Palin, it turns out, remains extremely popular in the US – at least among readers of graghic publications. A graphic biography of the Alaskan governor was released in the US yesterday and has been flying off the shelves, with its publisher already rushing back to press for a second printing.

Telling Palin's life story – from PTA president to her surprise nomination as John McCain's running mate, to the pair's failed bid for the White House – the 32-page comic is an "even-handed perspective" of Palin's accomplishments, according to its publisher Bluewater Productions.
BookAss notes that a comic book biography of Hillary Clinton, the most cheated-on woman in history, was also released yesterday and is proving popular not only in Arkansas but also among the thick-ankled among us all across the fruited plain.
