Spider-Man writer Wells and illustrator Nauck with my copy of the Amazing Spider-Man #583. Yes, I did. I waited in line for about an hour to get the first print of the Amazing Spider-Man -- the Obama variant #583, where it's already selling on eBay for as much as $200.
I waited because the creator Todd Nauck and the writer Zeb Wells were there to autograph the comic. I wasn't the only one. There was a long line and the store sold out.
Nauck and Wells were incredibly nice, considering that I'm not a comic reader. They seemed to welcome their new audience of first-time comic buyers, people who just wanted a copy because it was the inauguration day edition. I have to admit, I haven't actually read it yet. But I will.
Apparently, Obama collected Spider-Man comics when he was young.
