DES MOINES, Iowa, April 28 (UPI) -- Members of the media accompanying President Barack Obama to Iowa discovered a comic book featuring the commander in chief in a coffee shop.
The reporters said they were waiting in a Des Moines coffee shop while Obama exercised between 7:40 a.m. and 8:25 a.m. and discovered Issue 3 of comic book "Barack the Barbarian," from Chicago-based Devil's Due Publishing, in the cafe.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton joked about the comic book to reporters, USA Today reported.
"When you come to Iowa you see all sorts of fun things," Burton said. "And it's nice to see the manifestation of somebody's creative energy in the president slaying a large elephant."
