5 Best Political Cameos In Comic-Books

Barack Obama's appeared in a comic. Who else?



Bill Hicks - Preacher

Appeared in: Preacher #31

Now, Bill Hicks may not have been an elected official, but his stand-up routines were as much political speeches as a collection of strung together gags, so we'd say he more than deserves his place on this list.

And as cameos go, it's a perfect one. Bill Hicks belongs in the Preacher universe - this was a comic-book  that raged against religious hypocrisy, discussed gender politics and liked a smoke every now and again. Just like Hicks.

Who should play him in the film version:
Russell Crowe.

Ol' Russ is a long-time fan of Hicks, and if he shaved his beard off and dyed his mullet, we reckon he'd be a dead-ringer for the best stand-up of our lifetime. C'mon Hollywood - make it happen!

      Why didn't you put Hitler? He was in many comics.
