We are currently SOLD OUT of
the variant Obama cover for
Amazing Spider-Man #583

Try calling us next week, we are going to make every effort to restock them!

Spidey Saves Obama in
Amazing Spider-Man #583

In Stock at TATE'S, today
Wednesday, January 14th!

$3.99 is small price to pay for your
very own piece of comic book
and American history!

This issue features a 5-page story written by Zeb Wells in which Spider-Man thwarts a plot to disrupt the swearing-in of the 44th President of the United States, plus a variant cover from Phil Jimenez featuring the President-Elect and his favorite wallcrawler.

Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada explained the Inauguration surprise: “When we heard that President-Elect Obama is a collector of Spider-Man comics, we knew that these two historic figures had to meet in our comics’ Marvel Universe. Historic moments such as this one can be reflected in our comics because the Marvel Universe is set in the real world. A Spider-Man fan moving into the Oval Office is an event that must be commemorated in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man.”
