REGARDING THE MATTER OF OSWALD'S BODY

In recognition of the 59th anniversary of the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, I suggest reading Christopher Cantwell and artist Luca Casalanguida's graphic novel, REGARDING THE MATTER OF OSWALD'S BODY, which debuted in serialized form in November of 2021 and completed its run earlier this year. It's now available in a single edition from BOOM! Studios:

"The Kennedy assassination is a rat’s nest of conspiracy theories: mafia involvement, the second gunman, government cover-up… but the most important chapter of this sordid tale may just be the theory that the body buried at Oswald’s Rose Hill gravesite is not actually Lee Harvey himself.

"Meet the ragtag group of 'useful idiots' – a wannabe cowboy from Wisconsin, a Buddy Holly-idolizing (former) car thief, a world-weary Civil Rights activist ready for revolution, and a failed G-Man who still acts the part – who are unwittingly brought together to clean up the crime of the century, and specifically deal with the matter of Oswald’s body."

And since you're clearly in a Lee Harvey Oswald mood, you might also want to read Mae Brussell's "The Last Words of Lee Harvey Oswald" (courtesy of David Ratcliffe's Ratical.org):

"Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in shooting Pres. John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, or did he conspire with others? Was he serving as an agent of Cuba's Fidel Castro, himself the target of American assassins? Or in squeezing the trigger of his carbine was he undertaking some super 'dirty trick' for a CIA anxious to rid itself of a president whose faith in the 'company' had evaporated in the wake of the Bay of Pigs fiasco? Or was he representing a group of Cuban exiles, the Teamsters Union, the Mafia? Indeed, was it Lee Harvey Oswald at all who killed JFK? Or was there a double impersonating Oswald? These questions continue to nag many people more than a decade and a half after that dreadful day in Dallas, in spite of the 26 volumes of hearings and exhibits served up by the Warren Commission, the congressional investigations, the release of heretofore classified FBI documents. 


"Almost everyone, it seems, has been heard from on the Kennedy assassination and on Lee Harvey Oswald's guilt or innocence, except one person—Lee Harvey Oswald himself. From the time of Oswald's arrest to his own assassination at the hands of Jack Ruby, no formal transcript or record was kept of statements made by the alleged killer. It was said that no tape recordings were made of Oswald's remarks, and many notes taken of his statements were destroyed. 


"Determined to learn Oswald's last words, his only testimony, The People's Almanac assigned one of the leading authorities on the Kennedy assassination, Mae Brussell, to compile every known statement or remark made by Oswald between his arrest and death. The quotes, edited for space and clarity, are based on the recollections of a variety of witnesses present at different times and are not verbatim transcripts. 'After 14 years of research on the JFK assassination,' Mae Brussell concludes, 'I am of the opinion that Lee Harvey Oswald was telling the truth about his role in the assassination during these interrogations.'"
