She is known for saying, “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap,” and has proven to be a multi-talented singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, author, businesswoman, and philanthropist. It is uplifting and inspirational to see how Dolly Parton rose from humble beginnings to become the most revered female country performer of all time.
Parton has amassed a $600 million fortune that she is happy to share. Dolly also contributes to a foundation established in her honor, founded the Imagination Library, which provides books to millions of children, and even offers to pay students to stay in school. Her story of rags to riches is motivational, but her kindness and generosity have enabled others to end generational poverty, leaving a lasting legacy. This exciting graphic novel recounts her journey to popularity and her enthusiasm for giving back to the community that has given her so much. It collects the two-issue series written by Frizell and illustrated by Salas.

First and foremost, Kev is a dad to three wonderful children. He’s also an uber Kevin Smith fan (all Smith’s movies are worth a watch, even Yoga Hosers) who has cried during Kermit’s monologue in The Muppets and once owned two VHS copies of Spice World. He loves all pop culture, particularly the MCU and Star Wars. The Evil Dead franchise is his favorite horror franchise, though the original Scream is his favorite scary movie. He bleeds Eagle’s green in the (suburbs of the) greatest city on Earth, Philadelphia. Go Birds!
