Beie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, comic book heroes - CNET

In October, Democratic candidate Beie Sanders got his tu, with "Political Power: Beie Sanders."

Written and illustrated by Paradise, the Sanders comic tells the story of the longest serving independent member of Congress in American history. Sanders is depicted as a humble senator from Vermont and a staunch supporter of the middle class who promises to end the ineffective partisan divide in Congress.

While the art for the Clinton and Sanders comics doesn't differ (it's the same illustrator for both), the stories seem to reveal a bit more of Clinton's darker times, as opposed to the Sanders title, in which the Be comes off looking a bit more like, well, a superhero.

We see Sanders deal with his parents' struggle to pay doctor bills after his mother's health issues, and a young Sanders deciding to run as an independent for political office in the '70s. But there's also a segment dedicated to Sanders' rocky relationship with the NRA and his views on gun control.

Whether you're rooting for Sanders or Clinton, both comics serve up an entertaining life story.

Sanders and Clinton aren't the only politicians with their own comic books from Storm. Republican candidates Jeb Bush and Donald Trump also have biography comics that showcase their unusual lives.

Former Republican candidate Rand Paul also had a comic, complete with a hilarious cover of Paul with a scowling Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the background.
