Loretta Lynn‘s life and career are being turned into a comic book.
In honor of October’s Country Music Month, which was instituted by former President Richard Nixon in the 1970s, TidalWave Comics is releasing Female Force: Loretta Lynn on October 5.
The 22-page book examines her life and career, from her origins in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, to becoming a country music legend.
Written by Ryan McCall in honor of Loretta’s 90th birthday this year, the book features images of many of Loretta’s career highlights, including performing “Coal Miner’s Daughter” on the Grand Ole Opry and the night she met her husband, Oliver Lynn, at a pie social in Butcher Holler in 1947.
There’s also a cartoonized version of Kacey Musgraves, Margo Price and Brandy Clarkexploring Loretta’s exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame, along with Sissy Spacek presenting Loretta with the CMT Artist of a Lifetime Award at the 2018 CMT Artists of the Year ceremony.
Loretta passed away on October 4 at the age of 90. TidalWave Comics has released a statement saying the book was already in the process of being published at the time of Loretta’s death.
