Bruni Comics

26 Nov 2010 - Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, world famous as France's first lady and as a model/singer, has now been "immortalised" as a comic book heroine, an American publisher said. The 32-page comic book, released last month in English, but yet to find a publisher in France, is an unauthorised political biography with a difference.  A depiction of Mme. Sarkozy is on the cover, bare-shouldered in an evening gown with her hands crossed demurely in front of her poised before a billowing French tri-color. The readers are promised that "... being a French story, it has romance, sensuality, the occasional menage-a-trois." The scenes depict Bruni's family moving from Italy to France during the 1970s Red Brigades attacks, her modelling and music careers, her views and work on AIDS fundraising and her controversial meeting with the Pope. Other women who have received the comic book treat are US First Lady Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, J.K. Rowling and Olivia Newton-John.
