Anyone recall 70s comic The Prez?

Around 1976(?) I got a comic book called The Prez - I was in grade school at the time. Sadly I no longer have it. I believe it was a Marvel comic. Was it? If not who? Was he a superhero my memory of story details are nil - I just got one issue and read it once.

PREZ was a DC Comic, not a Marvel comic.

(Search title for 'Prez'

In the 90's, there was an issue of the DC comic 'The Sandman' featuring Prez. I was exposed to the character through that. The Prez was about the first teenaged president of the United States. The Sandman issue is excellent and well worth checking out. It is collected in the 'World's End' Sandman trade paperback.

It was a DC book about a teenage boy who becomes President of the USA. Very strange indeed.

There's also been a _Prez_ DC/Vertigo one-shot, published after the _Sandman_ issue.

And thank god Gaiman did a better job bringing Prez back into the public consciousness than he did with that other DC counter-cultural icon, Brother Power the Geek (also a Joe Simon creation, I believe).

There was also a one-shot DC/Vertigo comic about Prez, by Ed Brubaker. Very good stuff, and a fine homage to the character.

Just to demonstrate the 'to each his own' principle, I kind of liked Gaiman's Brother Power story, and his Prez story is my least favourite issue of SANDMAN (in fact, the only one I'm considering skipping when I get around to re-reading the series).

It was a ripoff of a movie with the same idea. It ignores the fact that Presidents must be at least 45.

What was the name of that movie?

Actually, PREZ doesn't ignore that: rather, the stories posit that there was an amendment to the Constitution that changed the age requirement to 18.

And the real-world requirement is age 35, not 45. For the two youngest: JFK was elected at age 43, T. Roosevelt became President at age 42 after McKinley's assassination.
