...There's a new movie debuting this week offering a Different theory about the assassination...
...of President John F Kennedy, on November 22, 1963!
The Warren Report presented it's evaluation of the matter, including their analysis of the actions of Jack Ruby, the man who shot President Kennedy's alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.
In early 1967, Esquire magazine presented a cover story about it...
...and, instead of just doing the usual article with photos (which they did, entitled "You All Know Me! I'm Jack Ruby!" by Garry Willis & Ovid Demaris), also engaged the primary artist and co-creator of the Marvel Comics universe, Jack Kirby, to write and draw a graphic narrative, using exact quotes from the Warren Commission's report!
That three-page comic was called...
Inked by Chic Stone, the Kirby also colored the art using Dr Martin dyes on photostats of the original art.
Apparently, Esquire's art director felt the coloring was clean enough that it could be used as the actual photographed full-color art instead of as "color guides" for standard comic book hand-separated "flat color".
It gives the art a "children's storybook" softness unique to comics until the late 1980s when similar hand-coloring techniques became more prevalent in comic books until the rise of computer coloring replaced it in the mid-1990s.
