Comic book gives lowdown on Janet Jackson’s life and career King Charles III jokes that he’s ‘been allowed out’ during visit

A new comic book will chart the highs and lows of pop star Janet Jackson’s career – from her upbringing in the Jackson superstar family, to “that” Super Bowl incident, to her return to the road and successful concerts.

The publication by TidalWave Comics is part of its “Female Force” series and will be released on Jackson’s birthday, May 15.

The 22-page narrative delves into the history of Janet Jackson, the youngest member of the Jackson family. From her childhood, surrounded by superstar siblings and their manager/father, Jackson’s life was steeped in music and performance.

The new Janet Jackson comic book is part of TidalWave Comics’ “Female Force” series.

The book traces her journey from child actor to music superstar, touching on the infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime “wardrobe malfunction” controversy that affected her career.

The “Female Force” series has chronicled the lives of many influential women, from musicians like Dolly Parton and Beyoncé to activists like Gloria Steinem.

The comic book will be available in both digital and print formats across various platforms, including Amazon.

King Charles III joked he had been “allowed out of my cage” on Thursday as the British monarch visited a military training college on his latest engagement since returning to public duties after his cancer diagnosis.

“I do apologize for taking you by surprise, but when this opportunity appeared and I had been allowed out of my cage, I wanted to come and see,” he told soldiers as he met staff and their families at the 3 Royal School of Military Engineering in southern England.

The 75-year-old king was “greatly encouraged” to get back to public duties, Buckingham Palace said when he resumed engagements at the end of last month, while his nephew Peter Phillips said in a TV interview his uncle had been frustrated by the pace of his recuperation.

The visit was the king’s second engagement in two days after he hosted the first annual garden party at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. However, the engagements meant he was unable to see his younger son, Prince Harry, who was making a rare trip to Britain this week from his home in California.

A spokesperson for Harry said a reunion between Charles and his estranged son would “not be possible due to his majesty’s full programme.”
