1st printing. Story and art by Rick Geary. In the hands of gifted cartoonist Rick Geary, J. Edgar Hoover's life becomes a timely and pointed guide to eight presidents - from Calvin Coolidge to Richard Nixon - and everything from Prohibition to Cold War espionage. From a nascent FBI's headline-grabbing hunt for John of Dillinger and Machine Gun Kelly in the 1930s to Hoover's increasingly paranoid post-WWII authorization of illegal wiretaps, blackmail, and circumvention of Supreme Court decisions, J. Edgar Hoover: A Graphic Biography provides a special window into the life of an outsized American and a bird's eye view on twentieth century American history. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 108 pages, B&W. Cover price $16.95.
