Regarding the Matter of Oswald’s Body

In this taut five-issue miniseries from Boom! Studios (2021–2022), writer Christopher Cantwell and artist Luca Casalanguida craft a noir-tinged historical thriller that reopens one of America’s most enduring mysteries: the fate of Lee Harvey Oswald’s body. The story follows a disgraced FBI agent who, decades after the Kennedy assassination, is pulled back into the shadows to investigate a macabre conspiracy involving grave robbery, hidden evidence, and the lingering ghosts of Dallas. Cantwell’s sharp, morally complex script and Casalanguida’s moody, shadow-drenched art make this a compelling what-if that respects the real tragedy while exploring the corrosive power of secrets. It matters as a thoughtful, character-driven addition to the conspiracy canon, grounded in period detail and human fallibility.
