American History & the Amazing Spider-Man

Marvel Comics has been working on a number of presidential issues of its legendary Spider-Man series of late.

Last month, Spider-Man #583 hit store shelves in advance of Barack Obama's inauguration and was a runaway success among comic collectors and Obama-philes alike. The first edition is already a hot commodity on eBay after selling out of stores almost instantly.

To commemorate President's Day 2009, Marvel has also memorialized Abraham Lincoln in issue no. 583 of "Gettysburg Distress." And if seeing the 16th president immortalized in the pages of Spider-Man isn't enough, Marvel is offering the issue free to those who sign up for a copy at marvel.com.
