Written by Sam Moskowitz and illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by George Roussos, the story unfolds with a stark, noir-inspired realism, while Jack Cole’s striking cover captures the era’s dramatic flair.
In the shadow of Lincoln’s assassination, Doctor Samuel Mudd stands trial for aiding John Wilkes Booth, his fate hanging in the balance as Lt. Lovett and Burke close in. Though condemned and exiled to the brutal confines of Devil’s Island, Mudd’s courage during a yellow fever outbreak earns him unexpected respect — and a chance at redemption that reaches even the halls of the White House.
