Haven't read any of these but am picking up cheap used copies (not that Geary doesn't deserve my money; I just don't have much of it) as not only a comics devotee but also a connoisseur of historical crime. Only thing I have of his the Leon Trotsky bio, I believe. (The fact that I keep confusing him with Rick Veitch probably doesn't help, of course.)
I think I'll go ahead & pre-order this one, though. I've been floating around anarchist circles for 3-odd decades & have known about the case since forever, & besides I just got through watching a recent-ish documentary on the case that proved to be downright fascinating.I tend to split superhero comics fans into "People who like Krypto" and "People who don't like Krypto."
Basically, if you miss the wonder of a dog flying around in a little Superman cape, you're in the wrong hobby.
