Alan Moore named official Obama biographer

At a press conference Monday, President Obama announced that he had appointed legendary comic book writer Alan Moore as the official biographer of his time in the White House. "As evidenced by his epic run on Swamp Thing #21–64, Moore's deft hand with both sociopolitical commentary and metaphysical violence makes him an ideal choice to chronicle my time in office," Obama said of the author of Watchmen and From Hell, whom he reportedly chose over others on a short list of potential biographers that included Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, and Bob Woodward. "I look forward to seeing the kinds of subplots he will surely weave throughout the main narrative of my presidency, and how he'll tie them all back together at the end in a way that just elevates the thing to a whole other level. God, that guy is the master." Although Obama has not yet settled on a publisher for his White House biography, he is reportedly leaning toward DC's Vertigo imprint for its creator-friendly ethos, high production values, and willingness to publish content for mature readers.

Further proof that Obama is indeed a comic book geek....

Being in Spider-man and Savage Dragon doesn't help his case much no. I'm sure he's in other comics too.

Yeah, THE ONION always tells the truth :P

You're using The Onion as your source? It's a satire news site.

If Raph's Girl thinks that is true, then the whole internet probably got that served as "OMG! Look! I found the greatest, truest news ever!" I weep for the internet.

Always check your sources, kids.

Well it would be cool if it were true. Tons of websites are reporting it tho.

As for what comics he's been in:

Spider-Man
Savage Dragon
Youngbloods
Thunderbolts

There's the Army of Darkness Ash Saves Obama series as well as Barak the Barbarian, IDW's bio of him, Bluewater productions bio of him...

Heck his dog has a couple comics too. :lol:

Dozens of sites report everything printed on/in The Onion. Doesn't make it true.

If it's reported on The Onion, it's automatically not true. It's a parody news site, nothing they print is even supposed to be taken as anything more than just a joke.

Looks like someone has egg on their face.

So I tried to do some of those fancy maneuvers with a frying pan. Sue me.

Moore should base the sequel to "Lost Girls" on the White House.

you know, even though this is bull-s**t. i can kinda see it for some reason, yeah it would exist in some strange alternate sitcom dimension

Frank Miller should do the biography
"I'm the god damn Obama-man!"
