Tina Turner is being honored for her contributions to the music industry through an unconventional format. The late music icon is being celebrated through a new comic book released by TidalWave Comics. As part of their "Tribute" series, the book is a heartfelt tribute to the Queen of Rock and Roll, and seeks to expand her audience to further commemorate her legacy.
The book, titled “Tribute: Tina Turner”, was crafted by author Michael Frizell and details Tina Turner's artistic journey, her tumultuous marriage with Ike Turner, and her resilient post-divorce career. Frizell expressed his admiration for the late artist, saying, “It’s bittersweet to write about the loss of Tina Turner because I grew up admiring her and listening to her music. Her ability to engage concertgoers and listeners is unmatched.”
The Tennessee native died in May at the age of 83 in her new home of Switzerland, where she also gained citizenship after remarrying Erwin Bach in 2013. The special edition comic book is 22 pages of dialogue and illustrations, and is available for purchase now. It is not the only content focusing on the complexity of Turner's life, however; the 1993 film “What’s Love Got To Do With It” starring Angela Bassett as well as the Broadway musical “Tina” both seek to showcase her story.
The comic book is part of the "Tribute series" which also includes books on Prince and Whitney Houston. On what would have been Turner’s 84th birthday on November 26th, her story is being celebrated for its artistic and personal victories. Through this tribute, the publisher hopes to honor the legacy of the beloved entertainer.
