Barack Obama: The Comic Book

Forget the polls, comic collectors can tell you who is the next president.

Congratulations from all of us at Neonpunch.com to President-elect Barack Obama. It looks like the U.S. does have a glimmer of hope now and has also made history at the same time. But was there really any doubt that Obama wouldn’t win? Even comic collectors knews this as yesterday the sales figures of IDW Publishing’s 2 presidential comics – one for McCain and one for Obama – were revealed and it was an easy 59% to 41% in Obama’s favor.

Read more about this true collectors item here and at the IDW site – you can try and call Clark’s Comics in Causeway Bay to see if they have any copies left or better yet you can have it sent to your iPhone (if you have a US number) for free from here.
