Lee Harvey Oswald

Few comic book appearances are as historically charged as this one: Lee Harvey Oswald made his comics debut in the pages of Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact in 1964 — a Silver Age Catholic school publication that didn't shy away from ripped-from-the-headlines subject matter — brought to the page by creators Frank Moss and Frank Borth. Sharing those pages with none other than John F. Kennedy, the appearance carries the unmistakable weight of recent history rendered in ink. With a small but striking footprint across titles like 2000 AD and Oz Squad Special under Egmont Fleetway, this is one of comics' most unusual real-world figures — a name that turns up rarely, but always meaningfully.
