About this title

Synopsis:

The 'Forgotten' Assassination Of An American President; The latest in Rick Geary's series on Victorian murders; After the success of The Borden Tragedy and Jack the Ripper, Rick Geary returns with The Fatal Bullet, exploring the assassination of the American President James Garfield by Charles J Guiteau, an obsessive stalker who thought his actions would bring him national glory. In this carefully researched and constructed story, Geary parallels the striking similarities in the lives of the President and his killer. The fascinating element of this story is how Guiteau went so wrong because of mental illness, while Garfield rose so high despite himself and his poor background. Beautifully illustrated throughout in Geary's distinctive black & white panels.
