About this Collection

This 2004 DC collection reprints the four-issue miniseries Barnum!, which reimagines the legendary showman P.T. Barnum as a secret agent for the United States government in the 19th century. Written by Howard Chaykin and David Tischman, with art by Niko Henrichon, the story blends historical fiction with espionage and adventure, featuring Barnum using his wits and showmanship to serve his country in a hidden capacity.

In "Barnum! In Secret Service to the USA," the world's most flamboyant showman, P.T. Barnum, steps out of the spotlight and into the shadows when he thwarts an assassination attempt on President Grover Cleveland—turning the famed impresario into America’s first Secret Agent. Written by Howard Chaykin and David Tischman, with striking art by Niko Henrichon and vibrant colors by Lee Loughridge, this 2004 DC tale blends historical flair with a touch of theatrical intrigue. The cover, also by Henrichon, captures Barnum’s larger-than-life presence in bold, dynamic lines.
