J. Scott Campbell Does Obama/McCain

This is pretty cool.

“There have been comic book biographies before, that’s not new,” said Scott Dunbier, special projects editor at IDW, which will publish the comics. “But we’re talking about a story that isn’t finished: two views of the candidates, two men who are both vying for what is arguably the most important job in the world.”

The comics went from ideas to production in about a week. “We don’t have a lot of red tape,” Mr. Dunbier said of IDW, a division of the IDT Internet Mobile Group. The small company is dwarfed by publishing giants like DC Comics and Marvel Entertainment. “Larger companies will investigate something for three months and have a number of meetings to decide if it was feasible.”

    Take a look at the link for the comics. http://www.presidentialcomics.com/ Then, take a closer look at the button graphics. Barack Obama’s button says “VOTE 2008″ while McLumpy’s reads: “BUY BOOK” — true dat!

    Are you sure those are J. Scott Campbell? Neither of them have enormous tits.

    I mean, that’s like Rob Liefeld drawing them without wearing any pouches.

    John McCain looks like he should be asking “Why so serious?” on his cover.
