Presidential Comic Books

The presidential race is heating up and the finish line is just around the corner. IDW is hoping to enlighten and cash in on the mystery surrounding the two candidates. Comic books have been used in many ways beside just entertainment, and it seems more and more items are getting into comic book format. Take this mini comic about the Detroit Tigers 2008 season. This article from FOX News about the presidential comic books from IDW Publishing talks about the men behind the comics. No, not McCain or Obama, but rather Mariotte and Helfer, the two writers of the presidential comic books. The writers have promised non-partisan approaches to the material, seeking to tell their stories rather than whom people should vote for. It seems to be moves like this that have helped IDW become the fourth largest comic books publisher in the USA.
