Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body #1 (Raw VF/NM) - BOOM! Studios (Ryan Sook Virgin / Incentive Variant Cover)

Add a rare, stark black-and-white incentive variant to your inventory with Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body #1, published by BOOM! Studios! Created and written by Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire, Iron Man) with interior art by Christopher Mitten (Hellboy), this 5-issue miniseries delivers an offbeat, conspiracy-filled historical crime noir heist.

This release features a full-bleed Virgin Variant Cover completely free of titles, logos, trade dress, and issue numbers, showcasing the stark noir linework in its pure form.

The striking black-and-white artwork—crafted by acclaimed artist Ryan Sook (signed SOOK in the lower right)—presents a classic noir movie poster collage. Framed within an archway, the composition showcases the ensemble cast of misfits, including a cowboy in a hat, a man carrying an acoustic guitar, a woman in a striped top, a figure holding a revolver, and the mysterious man orchestrating the conspiracy looming in shadows above.

Set in late 1963 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the story follows a ragtag group of four crooks and misfits hired by a mysterious figure for an unusual job: replace the body of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald prior to his autopsy and burial.

This unslabbed raw comic issue is in top-tier collectible condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), featuring razor-sharp corners, a clean spine, and high-contrast black-and-white ink tones—making it a prized acquisition for fans of Christopher Cantwell, Ryan Sook, BOOM! Studios, crime noir thrillers, and rare virgin variant covers.
