Synopsis
True story of an 1876 attempt to steal the body of President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) from its tomb in Springfield, Illinois.

Indexer Notes

It's possible that this is Esposito and that he sneaked his partial name on the tombstones on pages 3 and 4. "SITO" is on panel 7 of page 3 and "ES" is on panel 5 of page 4. The style is vaguely like him, too.
