Wait, are you actually expressing incredulity that a libertarian might be more familiar with obscure Batman comics than with GQ?

Assuming that the bit of reportage at the beginning of the NYT Magazine profile is accurate, Ron Paul would probably only know Batman because it predates Korea. He didn't even know what GQ magazine was about! (Then again, I do have a copy of the Batman issue, having sought it out after seeing it featured in the Mises Memo. I am 40 years younger than he, though.) The man is an absolute marvel, and my spirits are lifted that more and more people are tuning in to him and turning on to the message of peace, prosperity and freedom. Let’s get real.
