An...unusual sight. ETRIGAN is grinning and facing the

with the viewer. Etrigan is dressed in a businessman's
power suit and tie. Titles and credits and the like go

Etrigan cites both disappointment with
President Bush's policies and a "desire
for immense personal power" as his
motivations.

Panel 3
Etrigan grins as he juggles three FIREBALLS.

CAPTION
"As he entertained potential voters,
Etrigan outlined his economic recovery
plan and vehemently denyed published
