Today in ComicsHistory, November 24, 1963: It Takes a Thief (to catch a thief, and also to steal Lee Harvey Oswald's corpse)


from Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body #3 (Boom!, January 2022), script by Christopher Cantwell, pencils and inks by Luca Casalanguida, colors by Giada Marchisio, letters by AndWorld Design





Looks like the prisoner transport of JFK's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald is going quite smoothly. Wouldn't you say, Mister Ruby?


Nothing could possibly go worng.



Long story short: our protagonists steal Oswald's corpse, throw it in the back of their pick-up and drive away. Oh! Suddenly I realize where the title comes from. And hey, look, Texan relatives of mine!:


from Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body #4 (Boom!, February 2022)

Uh, boys, did you check to make absolutely certain that Oswald was definitely dead?


from Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body #3

Whoops! He's always pullin' that!
