George W. Bush

George Walker Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, appears in Marvel publications as a real-world political figure. The Republican leader is depicted in his capacity as commander-in-chief, brought into comics storytelling as a recognizable public official rather than a fictional creation.

Few figures blur the line between politics and pop culture quite like George W. Bush as rendered in comics — a real-world president who found himself woven into the fabric of the Modern Age funny pages and superhero universe alike. Debuting in G. B. Trudeau's The Revolt of the English Majors in 2001, Bush became a recurring presence across a remarkable 22-year stretch, turning up in titles as varied as Mad, Black Panther, and Avengers, sharing pages with the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, and Logan. With 31 catalogued appearances and at least one recognized key issue to his name, he's a genuinely unusual collectible thread running through an era of politically charged storytelling. Whether you're a Doonesbury devotee or a Marvel completist, tracking down his appearances makes for one of the more delightfully offbeat collecting pursuits of the modern era.
