OBAMA, MCCAIN TO GET OWN COMIC BOOKS: San Diego-based publisher to tell life stories of presidential candidates.

Also, Britney Spears' crybaby defender, Chris, is back ... this time boo-hoo-ing for Barack!

(August 1, 2008)

*A San Diego-based publisher is about to release comic books based on the life stories of presumptive presidential nominees Barack Obama and John McCain.

"We're not doing anything that is sensational here," IDW special projects editor Scott Dunbier told the Associated Press, adding that neither campaign had anything to do with the projects. "We're sticking to the facts."

The books, which are independently researched and illustrated by a veteran team of writers and artists, will be available online, via cell phones and in comic book shops beginning Oct. 8.

According to the Associated Press, Obama's biography is being written by novelist Jeff Mariotte (Superman, Spider-Man, Star Trek), and drawn by artist Tom Morgan. J. Scott Campbell did both covers; each features its candidate in the classic superhero pose of squared shoulders and fists on hips with an American flag in the background.
