Marvel Comics honors Presidents Day and Abe Lincoln’s 200th birthday in a short, six-page [online comic](http://marvel.com/digitalcomics/presidents). As Spidey and Cap fight Abraham von Lincolnstein- an evildoer who vandalizes five-dollar bills- Cap tells the tale of the most famous speech in American history. It’s not much, but it’s amusing, a nice tribute, and the reference to the old Hostess ad campaign is very funny.

(The site will ask you to register before you see the comic. Press “skip”- the comic is free, just as Lincoln would want it.)

And you get to read where Spidey meets Obama.

Biden is hilarious.
