The life of billionaire Facebook executive and Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg has been distilled into a 32-page comic book set for release this week. Female Force: Sheryl Sandberg will be available in print and digital versions, according to publisher Bluewater Production.

The publishing company's Female Force line of biography-based comics has also spotlighted Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Melinda Gates, Martha Stewart and Madonna. "Sheryl Sandberg is a hero to many women," Bluewater says in a post about the comic on its website. "So becoming a comic-book superhero was the next logical step."

Facebook co-founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg was the hero of a Bluewater comic book released about four years ago. The Sandberg comic sets out to show "behind-the-scenes machinations" that resulted in Sandberg becoming a force for empowering business women, according to Bluewater publisher Darren Davis. Art in the comic book is the work of Angel Bernuye, according to Bluewater.

"I found it quite a challenge, as it was necessary to distill her life to date into one comic," Sandberg comic author Michael Frizell says in a release.

"Sheryl Sandberg's accomplishments and sage advice could fill several issues."
