True crime meets graphic novel

Another great graphic novel from Rick Geary! True crime at its easy reading best. This graphic novel is based on the blockbuster case of early 20th Century. A must read for true crime fans and presents a great introduction to the graphic novel format. This famous case is covered in gory detail! While the graphic novel is in black and white, I couldn't help but "see" the blood. The book covers the crime and subsequent trial. Were they executed because they were really guilty or was it because they were known communists? This book had me on the edge of my seat even though I knew the outcome.
