 |  The Spider-Man edition is likely to become a collectors' item  |
Enlarge ImageUS President-elect Barack Obama is to appear on the cover of a special edition of a Spider-Man comic.
A six-page story, with the superhero saving the day when an imposter tries to take Mr Obama's place as president, will hit shelves next Wednesday.
Marvel Comics editor Joe Quesada said the idea for edition came after Mr Obama admitted he was a Spider-Man fan.
"How great is that? The commander-in-chief to be is actually a nerd-in-chief," Mr Quesada said.
Mr Obama's fan status was revealed by his campaign team, who released 10 little-known facts about the Democrat.
"Right at the top of that list was he collected Spider-Man comics," Mr Quesada said.
"I was inundated with tons of fan mail saying, 'Have you read this?'
"I was just floored, absolutely floored."
