[Talk] Obama and Spiderman
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/books/blog/2009/01/obama_and_spiderman.html
Barack Obama is seeping into pop culture, and there's no better
example than Marvel Comics' decision to feature him in a special
issue of Amazing Spider-Man. On Jan. 14, Marvel will release #583
with Obama on the cover; it will sell for $3.99. The story line
revolves around Spidey foiling an attempt to sabotage the
inauguration.
"It was a natural after we learned the new president is a
Spider-Man fan," Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada told USA
Today, noting reports that Obama once collected Spider-Man comics.
I'm glad Obama got a chance to star with an A-list superhero, and
not someone like Green Arrow (is he still around?). As a kid, my
comics pantheon featured Superman and Batman at the top, with
Spider-Man and Flash not far behind. The rest were B-listers to
me.
You can see some of the Spider-Man panels in this gallery. For a
look at other presidents who have found a place in comics,
including John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, check out this Sun
gallery.
