In addition to the Abraham Lincoln President’s Day special edition Marvel Comics issue (wow, that’s a mouthful), Marvel is also giving those of us who couldn’t snag a copy of “Spidey Meets The President” the opportunity to read the comic in full for free on their website. And in some ways, this free digital version is better than the actual copy because it comes with a 4-page prologue by the original creative team — Zeb Wells and artist Todd Nauck — and all 5 historic comic covers in one place!
See all of the covers below.

If you thought the Spider-Man and Obama inauguration special comic was a bit weird, wait until you see where Spider-Man ends up next!
Marvel Comics is slated to release a special 6-page free digital comic on President’s Day (February 16, 2009) that puts Spider-Man and Captain America at the place where Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg address! The name of the digital issue is “Gettysburg Distress” and the story is written by Matt Fraction with artwork by Andy MacDonald. The story is supposedly a tribute to the 200th anniversary of the birth of Lincoln.
Mark your calendars for Monday so you can download and read up on Lincoln chilling with Spider-Man and Captain America. This should be good.
