Obama Comic

Many of his fans would say Obama entered into the superhero world long ago, but it's only now that he's encountering Spider-Man. Marvel Comic's Inauguration Day special, Amazing Spider-Man No. 583, features the soon-to-be President big and bold on the front cover giving Spider-Man a knowing thumbs-up. While the comic book is expected to be an instant sellout at D.C. specialty shops, you can always shell out for it on eBay ($4 in shops, and as much as $15,000 on eBay).
