Product Description: In the vein of great biography comics from years past (Pope John Paul?II,?St. Francis of Assisi), come two biographies of the 2008 Presidential candidates. This year?s presidential primary season was historic for many reasons, and?Barack Obama?s rise from humble beginnings to his place on the November ballot makes for an extraordinary tale! Acclaimed artist?J. Scott Campbell?provides a special cover for the issue! John McCain?is a true American hero, and his tale, taking him from the hells of Viet Nam to becoming the Republican nominee for President is a story well worth telling.?J. Scott Campbell?again provides the cover for the comic-biography of one of the two candidates in November?s historic Presidential contest. Want to get both sides of the story? This special flipbook edition features the illustrated biographies of both Barack Obama and John McCain, with each story adorned by?J. Scott Campbell?s cover art.
A Tale of Two Leaders ^ The 2009 Presidential Election is surely up there with the country's most historical events. And IDW jumps on the bandwagon with this flappable two-sided comic, which tells two stories that are only possible in America.
Barack Obama's autobiography is written by Jeff Mariotte and drawn by Tom Morgan, while John McCain's story is handled by Andy Helfer and Stephen Thompson respectively. This thin paperback houses some surprising information on both politicians, from Obama's lifelong search for his racial identity to McCain's military hardships and family woes. While both stories are brief, "Presidential Material" paints a portrait of two different men who are both worthy of recognition and respect.
This comic is unrated: Mild Violence, Adult Situations.
Presidential Material Flipbook; Barack Obama and John McCain ^ Mdse received in good condition, w/ secured packaging which prevented any damage from occurring. Mdse also received within time specified by the seller.
Important souvenir ^ I purchased this rather unconventional souvenir of the historic 2008 presidential election. It has good, basic information about both candidates, but I will keep with my other Obama mementos.
Revealing about both candidates ^ The comic was more revealing about both candidates than I expected. McCain's wild youth and Obama's hanging out with some true radicals when he was young.
The art was a little primitive in spots. It was a good summary of both of their lives.
Collectible appeal ^ I have to admit I never intended to buy this for the satire,,I bought it for my grandchildrens children..A piece of history I will add to all the memorabilia I have collected from this historic election! If you like comics, it`s great but if you want to own a small piece of history here`s your chance! Add it to your collection or enjoy it at face value either way it was a great deal..
