The Secret Door at the White House

Rick Geary’s single-issue comic for NBM Publishing, The Secret Door at the White House (2017), is a meticulously researched, lightly whimsical historical mystery. Geary, the sole writer and artist, applies his signature crosshatched style to a little-known tale of a hidden passage in the executive mansion. It’s a compact, engaging slice of Americana that showcases his gift for finding the strange and human in the overlooked corners of history.
