The Fatal Bullet

A comic book I had been anxiously awaiting arrived today, and I devoured it on my subway rides. The Fatal Bullet: a true account of the assassination, lingering pain, death, and burial of James A. Garfield, twentieth president of the United States, also including the inglorious life and career of the despised assassin Guiteau is a wonderful historical piece. The writing is taut and very witty and the illustrations are great.

This is part of Rick Geary's series, A Treasury of Victorian Murder. I can't wait to dive into Lizzie Borden and Jack the Ripper next!
