Barack Obama, Fanboy
Collects Comics, Uses iBook
President-elect Barack Obama is apparently closer to our audience than any of his predecessors. According to “The 50 Facts You Might Not Know” in the London Telegraph, the following information has emerged:
• He collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics
• He has read every Harry Potter book
• His favorite films are Casablanca and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
• He enjoys playing Scrabble and poker
• He uses an Apple Mac laptop
• His favorite fictional television programs are M*A*S*H and The Wire
So the question is this: does he prefer Barry Windsor-Smith or John Buscmea’s depiction of the Cimmerian?

Does this mean there's going to be a Secret Service agent showing up at the comics shop closest to the White House every Wednesday? There's a picture...

Or does it mean if he didn't like 'one more day' Marvel will bring the real Spider-Man back.

Obama was 12 when "Prez" hit the stands, so we know where he got his inspiration.
Joe Simon is a kingmaker and doesn't even know it!
