The life stories of U.S. presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama hit comic book stands on Wednesday -- and the company behind the illustrated bios hopes plenty of adults will buy them.

IDW Publishing, a San Diego-based company, said it produced the comic book biographies of the two candidates to capitalize on the election. The two biographies will be sold separately in comic stores, and together in a bound edition at bookstores.

In his comic, McCain, the Republican nominee for president, is shown being struck by captors in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp. Obama, the Democratic nominee, is portrayed as a community organizer sitting around a kitchen table listening to Chicago residents. ...

3. If you read the "McCain Comic" backwards....

It would tell you the story of a right-wing lunatic who begins under the influence of a crazed, dangerous woman from Alaska. After the two part ways following the RNC, he slowly begins morphing over the years from intolerable and dangerous to a sometimes non-waste of humanity. One especially poignant moment is when, during the 2000 Republican Primaries, one of the cheap tricks his evil friend Karl Rove developed is used on him by George W. Bush. He gradually refutes the easy, nasty politics of Rove, and becomes a better person. However, his "enthusiasm" for what he considers laissez-faire economics leads him to become corrupted by a scandal known as the "Keating 5." Seeing the error of his ways, he quickly divorces his pill-swiping heiress wife, and marries his childhood sweetheart, despite her physical deformities brought on by a car accident. He eventually joins the military, is captured in Vietnam, enters the USNA, where he goes from nearly dead last to a 1000-way tie.

4. I went to the site to buy the Obama copy and it was $3.99, which

was fine but when I went to check out the cheapest shipping charge available was $6.00 - so I will wait and find it at a local comic book store.
