1963 - Tales of the Uncanny page 5
Comment
This is page 5 from Tales of the Uncanny - a chapter in Alan Moore´s 1963 series. The series is created as a pastiche of Marvel superhero comics as they were in 1963 - when Moore was a boy and an eager Marvel comics fan. Of course Moore had to include an alternative take on the John F. Kennedy murder in a series called 1963, and this page depicts his take on one of the most spectacular episodes connected to that murder: Jack Ruby´s killing of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Too bad the 1963 series was not concluded.
