Elliot S! Maggin, writer of many comic books, including the much-anthologised “Must There Be A Superman?”, is standing for Congress. Which prompts two questions – not about his platform, of course, because who pays any attention to that in American politics?* – but …

1) Will he include the “S!” (for “Shazam!”) on the ballot form? and

2) Will he cite as relevant experience his time running Oliver Queen’s campaign for mayor of Star City?
