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. --
