Ultimate Mighty Marvel team-up – Spider-Man and Prez Elect Obama.
In Amazing Spider-Man # 583, a special ish, Spidey attends the Inauguration when he suddenly spies two Obamas – but which one’s the baddie?!
(Hint: It’s Spidey’s old villain – The Chameleon!)
"When we heard that President-Elect Obama is a collector of Spider-Man comics, we knew that these two historic figures had to meet in our comics’ Marvel Universe," Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada said in a PR release.
"Historic moments such as this one can be reflected in our comics because the Marvel Universe is set in the real world. A Spider-Man fan moving into the Oval Office is an event that must be commemorated in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man."
This isn’t the first thing a President has appeared in the comics world – FDR was a frequent guest star during WW2 four color funnies and even JFK met Superman – helping to preserve his secret identity way back in 1963.
Unfortunately we still don’t know if Prez Elect Bam digs artist Steve Ditko on Spidey or "Jazzy" Johnny Romita . . .
