Political Power Barack Obama

Chris Ward and artist Azim Akberali launched Bluewater's Political Power series with this 2009 one-shot biography of Barack Obama, offering a comics-formatted look at the then-newly inaugurated 44th President of the United States. The issue traces Obama's path from his early life to his historic election, framing it within the publisher's line of non-fiction political portraits. As the inaugural entry in the ongoing Political Power series, it set a template for exploring modern political figures through sequential art.
