TidalWave Comics is thrilled to unveil an exciting addition to its highly regarded “Tribute” series, dedicated to commemorating iconic figures who have left an indelible mark on the world. The upcoming release, “Tribute: Tina Turner,” is a loving homage to the iconic artist and is set to be launched on November 24th, coinciding with what would have been her 84th birthday.
“Tribute Tina Turner” authored by Michael Frizell and brought to life through the artistry of Ramon Salas, is a compelling 22-page comic book that enthusiasts can readily access in both digital and print formats. For those who cherish the tactile experience of reading, “Tribute: Tina Turner” will be available in both hardcover and paperback editions, each graced with two distinctive covers crafted by the renowned comic book artist Pablo Martinena. This dual-cover presentation offers collectors the opportunity to celebrate Tina Turner’s legacy through a unique visual lens, making it a must-have addition to any collection.
Born Anna Mae Bullock, Tina Turner started her life as a singer in her local church and elementary schools. Her ill-fated relationship with Ike Turner coincided with her meteoric rise up the Billboard charts, leading to her eventual fall. After retooling her image, Tina again exploded on the scene in the 80s. She passed from natural causes May 24, 2023. Twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a musical career that spanned half a century, Tina Turner’s legacy isn’t likely to be repeated.
“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.” Said writer, Michael Frizell .
“The Tribute comic book series is dedicated to preserving the legacies of beloved entertainers who have left us,” explains TidalWave’s publisher, Darren G. Davis. “It serves as a heartfelt tribute to those individuals who have left an indelible mark on our world.”
