The life of entertainer Liza Minnelli is certainly one for the books - comic books, that is.
The legendary performer is immortalized in a comic book entitled "Female Force: Liza Minnelli". The said book, written by Michael L. Frizell and drawn by Rafael Cordeiro, was released this week.

The book is 24 pages long, highlighting the milestones of Minnelli's impressive career - from her carefree days at Studio 54, to "Cabaret" up to her other memorable achievements.
Cordeiro shared that illustrating a person is interesting enough to do, but drawing an icon like Minnelli was certainly "a unique experience".
"A biography is a challenge for any artist, because you have to delve into someone else's life, interpret it and bring those memories back through graphical representations. This task is even more challenging when you're speaking about a person as legendary as Liza Minnelli," he shared.
Frizell, who has also had experience acting onstage, shared that Minnelli is a force in musical theater unmatched by any other. He said that he hopes he has managed to capture her intense persona and talent in the book.
The publisher of the said comic book, Bluewater Productions, had previously produced similarly titled books on singers such as Barbra Streisand and Madonna.
Publisher Darren G. Davis stated that adding Minelli to their titles will prove to be an inspiration to people , especially after realizing how Minnelli had shaped the culture today.
The comic book is available in a physical print edition. It can also be downloaded on iTunes for a fee.
While the comic book has been released, the iconic singer and actress is currently resting at a California hosptial after undergoing back surgery.
"I am overwhelmed with the amount of love and caring that has been sent my way from all over the world," the 68-year old Minnelli expressed in a statement released Wednesday.
