Barnum!

    (DC, 2003)
™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

If you happen to have read or remember Scott McCloud’s (Understanding Comics) The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln, or have seen the classic TV series The Wild Wild West (forget the movie version), you will most surely enjoy Barnum in Secret Service to the USA. This is another example of taking an historical character and transplanting him into a modern day situation. In this case, P.T. Barnum is still contemporary with President Grover Cleveland, but the humor is very cutting edge, as the classic circus showman becomes a secret agent!
