So Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion. Does this mean Stan Lee’s brooding characters will be Disneyfied? It’s too early to tell, but if President Obama is tired of being on Spiderman’s Marvel team, he can go solo with his own comic book. In Ghana we picked up issues of an independent comic series starring our president. Printed in Nigeria and titled simply, “Barak Obama,” the series tells the story of young Barry’s path to the White House. It’s fascinating to see an American presidency through another culture. Look for them on sale on Mer-chan newsstands soon!
