Ruth & Freddy

In the early 2010s, Bluewater Productions (later operating under imprints like Storm and TidalWave) published this five-issue miniseries, which casts a lighthearted, fictionalized spotlight on the early lives of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Fred Astaire. The story imagines a shared childhood adventure for the future Supreme Court justice and the legendary dancer, blending historical whimsy with a coming-of-age friendship. Written by Marc Shapiro with art by various hands, the series stands out for its offbeat premise and its attempt to humanize iconic figures through an unlikely, playful crossover.
