Barnum!

In this 2004 DC one-shot, writer David Tischman and artist Niko Henrichon team up with Howard Chaykin to reimagine the legendary showman P.T. Barnum as a dark, manipulative master of spectacle. The story peels back the gilded curtain of 19th-century entertainment, revealing the cynical genius behind the "Greatest Show on Earth." A sharp, provocative character study that reframes a beloved historical figure as a cunning architect of modern celebrity and illusion.
