First published 2012

Lee Harvey Oswald races through his last day alive, driven by desperate ambition and trapped in a web of political conspiracies. The clock ticks toward November 22, 1963, as Oswald navigates criminal schemes and dangerous alliances that pull him deeper into a plot he cannot escape. His frantic dash toward an inevitable end reveals a man caught between his grandiose dreams and the brutal reality of the forces controlling him. The graphic novel format brings visceral immediacy to Oswald's final hours, showing how personal vanity and political machinations converge in one of history's most shocking moments.
