As a fan of Spiderman comic books (As if you didn’t know that already.) a must-have spidey collectible will be hitting the streets January 14, 2009. President-elect Barack Obama will be teaming up with our friendly neighborhood Spiderman in the upcoming Amazing Spiderman: issue #583. The limited “Inauguration Day” issue, featuring Barack and Spiderman on the cover will only be available for half the issues printed. So collectors looking to nab this on day one get ready. Comic stores around the country are expecting an instant sell out the issue. You’ve been warned.
More story highlights and pics from the historic comic after the break.

"In the story by Zeb Wells, Todd Nauck and Frank D'Armata, Spider-Man stops the Chameleon from spoiling Obama's swearing-in. At one point, Spider-Man says he mistook Vice President-elect Joe Biden for the Vulture (a vintage Spider-Man villain)."
"It was a natural after we learned the new president is a Spider-Man fan," says Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada about reports that Obama once collected Spider-Man comics. "We thought, 'Fantastic! We have a comic-book geek in the White House.'"
"The White House transition team did not respond to a question about the extent of Obama's comic-book geekiness, but Obama did mention Spider-Man during the campaign, primarily at children-oriented events. And during an Entertainment Weekly pop culture survey, Obama said Batman and Spider-Man were his top superheroes because of their "inner turmoil." (John McCain picked Batman.)"
