Presidential Comics

I once had the delusion of writing an article on presidential comics.

So I started getting references and doing reading before bogging down in the realization that it’s just too much work.

To do the subject justice you’d have to read all the books here and more, as well as reading a ton of scholarly material to get an objective idea of how well the various comic book biographies were handled within the context of available information about various presidents and the public’s general opinion of them, etc. And the simple fact is it would take hundreds of hours and produce pages and pages of mostly uninteresting facts and examples for an audience that has probably read enough comics that they have a general idea of what a Dell biography of Barry Goldwater is going to be like

Nonetheless, it’s an interesting subject to read and research and I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from reading and collecting comics, so I decided to put up a gallery of presidential and related political comics here. Some of these are pretty good, some are pretty scarce, and you know which ones.
