The USA Today Pop Candy blog is reporting that President-elect Barack Obama is going to be gracing another cover of Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon comic book.
The issue will be released February 25th for $3.50 and sees the series main character Savage Dragon return to the Chicago police force. The series creator had this to say:
“I had always intended to follow up Dragon’s previous presidential campaign with his own endorsement, but I never anticipated how much heat it would generate,” Larsen said. “When Barack appeared on the incentive cover of SAVAGE DRAGON #137 as a candidate it led to the book going through numerous printings. This time out the media has, again, picked up on the story and I was hoping to get the word out so that retailers wouldn’t get caught short once more.”
