The Department of Truth Volume 5

＂A wonderfully dizzy mixture of Men in Black, John Carpenter, Stephen King, The Matrix, and 1970s conspiracy thrillers.＂ --Forbes

Confronted with an enemy intent on exposing their secrets to the world, the Department of Truth made a shocking choice--go public first. But to understand Lee Harvey Oswald’s risky gambit, we have to return to where it all started: Dallas, 1963, as President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passed the grassy knoll...and a woman in red with X’s for eyes picked up a rifle in the window of the Texas Book Depository.

ALSO IN THIS VOLUME: Marilyn Monroe’s life was stranger than fiction. So strange that she may have slipped out of reality herself.

Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (W0RLDTR33, The Nice House on the Lake) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Martin Simmonds (Universal Monsters: Dracula) reveal the truth behind the shot heard around the world, while acclaimed artist Alison Sampson (Sleeping Beauties) joins for a very special tale about a uniquely American icon.
