Biography of Obama and McCain to be Written in Graphic Novel Format

Pres­i­den­tial nom­i­nees Bar­rack Obama and John McCain will get their biogra­phies told through art, well, graphic nov­els. The pub­lisher IDW who pub­lished 30 Days of Night, will be “stick­ing to the facts” and have worked on this project inde­pen­dently. IOW, no cam­paign input from either party. Yes, I plan to read it and review it on my blog. The graphic novel is set to release on Oct 8 and you can read more about it here. The arti­cle goes on to say that this is not the first time a graph­i­cal biog­ra­phy has been done. The last one was for Pope John Paul the II in 1982 by Mar­vel Comics. The comic book will also be avail­able to read on cell phones, too. Kewl.
