The project, from Devil’s Due Comics, received a lot of media attention when it was announced in February. In his foreword, Josh Blaylock, the founder of the company, said he created the comic because he was inspired by Ocasio-Cortez and other newly elected members of Congress. The result is a 52-page book, priced at $5.99, which has pinups, games and stories. The common theme is the potential of the new members of Congress and their “finally bringing diversity to the legislative body that reflects us as a whole,” Blaylock wrote .

The Ocasio-Cortez comic is not the first or last foray into politics by Devil’s Due. Blaylock published “Barack the Barbarian” in 2009. And on July 3, the company will release an anthology dedicated to Bernie Sanders, “Talk Bernie To Me!” — which is being promoted as “another comic anthology for the 99 percen t.”

Comic books and politics have a colorful past. President Ronald Reagan was the subject of a 2007 graphic-novel biography. The next year, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain made an appearance in a Marvel comic, and IDW Publishing presented biographical comics about Senators John McCain and Barack Obama a month before Election Day. TidalWave Productions has a regular “Female Force” series of comics that tell the life stories of Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, Condoleezza Rice and others. The company also released “Donald Trump: The Graphic Novel” as part of its “Political Power” series and is publishing a biographical comic on Ocasio-Cortez in August.

President Trump is a regular subject of the artist Jon McNaughton, who has been painting for about four decades but whose work turned to politics in 2008, when he painted John McCain. But it was “One Nation Under God” (2009), which showed Jesus Christ holding a copy of the Constitution, that brought him a lot of exposure. “This was when the internet was just starting to come on pretty strong, and it went viral because somebody was making fun of it,” Naughton said in a telephone interview. Then the tide turned. “I’ve come to kind of get used to the fact that half the country loves my paintings and the other half hates them.”
