Barnum! HC

BARNUM! HC (Howard Chaykin & David Tischman/Niko Henrichon) Circus showman P.T. Barnum becomes a secret agent for the U.S. government. When brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla and a cadre of the world's richest men plot to destroy America, Barnum and his right-hand man Bailey assemble a team of the wildest circus freaks on the planet - including a teenaged human fly, a midget strongman, a sword-swallowing rubber man, a man-hating mesmer, an empath who can speak to animals, and the legendary Siamese twins Chang and Eng - to moonlight as government secret agents. 128 pp. MR.
