Obama SpiderMan Comic Book

To celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama, Marvel Comics is releasing a special issue of "The Amazing Spider-Man" with the President-elect on the cover. In the #583 issue of the Spider-Man comics, to be released Jan. 14, Barack Obama meets Spidey when the superhero stops the Chameleon from spoiling Obama's inauguration.
"It was a natural after we learned the new president is a Spider-Man fan," says Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada about reports that Obama once collected Spider-Man comics. "We thought, 'Fantastic! We have a comic-book geek in the White House.'"
“We do our best to be completely non-partisan and treat presidents with respect. This is not so much a pro-Obama statement but a tip of the hat to having a Spider-Man fan in the White House,” he added.
The issue will be available for $3.99 at local comic book stores.
During his campaign , Obama did mention Spider-Man, primarily at children-oriented events. He also once posed in front of a statue of Superman in Metropolis, Illinois. See the photo below.
