To celebrate the upcoming inauguration of Barack Obama, Marvel is proud to present an all-new story teaming up one of the world�s most recognizable political figures with the world�s greatest super-hero as President-Elect Obama joins Spider-Man in Spidey Meets the President!

This all new story written by Zeb Wells and art by Todd Nauck and Frank D�Armata takes place in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day and finds one of Spider-Man�s oldest foes attempting to thwart the swearing in ceremony of the 44th President of the United States. The story will be featured as a bonus story in Marvel Comic�s Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nation-wide on January 14th, 2009. A special variant cover by artist Phil Jimenez featuring the President-Elect and Spider-Man will be available for this issue.

�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,� says Marvel�s Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. �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.�

For fans of Spider-Man and those wanting to own a part of this historic moment in American history, visit your local comic book retailer on January 14, 2009 to purchase the issue. To find a comic book retailer near you, visit https://www.comicshoplocator.com/ or call 888-COMICBOOK.

I'll be canceling my Spiderman subscribtion after this issue. I would do it before, but I'm curious to see who the villian is. What ethnicity is he/she going to be. It'll probably be some average looking white guy. Any other race group would get affended. I hope this doesn't trickle over into other titles. Is Obama going to be wearing a cape. Ha Ha.
