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. Beyond this central tale, the collection includes additional war stories spanning different eras, from science fiction scenarios involving children and warfare to Civil War adventures filled with military humor. The book also features rare war comics from the 1950s, creating a broader meditation on conflict and consequence across American history.
