Regarding the Matter of Oswald’s Body

In Regarding the Matter of Oswald’s Body (2022–present, Boom! Studios), writer John Layman and artist Jok twist the assassination of JFK into a darkly comedic conspiracy thriller, asking what if Lee Harvey Oswald’s corpse held a secret that powerful forces would kill to bury. This single-issue debut sets a paranoid, pulpy tone as a low-level government clerk is tasked with the absurdly dangerous job of guarding the body, only to find himself hunted by shadowy agents and a monstrous, otherworldly threat. The series matters as a sharp, genre-bending take on historical mythmaking, blending conspiracy lore with horror and black humor.
