It turns out he's such a comic book fan that his favorite superhero is the Batman from an Elseworlds story.

That's an obscure choice, even for comic book fans. Ron Paul really is trying
to cater to the internet geek vote.

Catering or not, it's pretty amazing that he was even aware of this story.  I suppose that maybe some staff member recommended the selection for him, but still... that's obscure.  I wasn't certainly wasn't aware of that story. 

Too bad he didn't pick "True Brit", eh?

It beats doing a 'looking out the window' cameo on the Batman TV series of the 60s, I guess.

Paul is a huge fan of Ludwig Von Mises, so it makes perfect sense that he'd love this story.

That's impressive, I think. Plus the scanned page makes me want to read it.

I was completely unaware of this Paul Pope story. I am highly amused.
