Obama and McCain books go mobile

Obamaniacs and McCainers can download graphic novel biographies of their political heroes to mobile.

US specialist uclick will offer mobile versions of IDW Publishing’s two biographies, Presidential Material: Barack Obama and Presidential Material: John McCain. The titles go on sale from October 8th.  uclick will offer them via its GoComics reader via US carriers and on the mobile Internet at m.gocomics.com.

"The Presidential Material books are the latest example of why IDW is considered one of the most innovative comic book publishing companies," said Jeff Webber, uclick’s VP of product development. "The simultaneous release of these books in print and on mobile phones has never been done in the US before. We've seen a lot of new ground broken so far in this presidential contest, so it's fitting that these books should be released in a way that's unprecedented."
