...murders, and lesser-known stories such as The Mystery of Mary Rogers. But no previous volume involves a story of nearly the historical magnitude of The Murder of Abraham Lincoln (80 pages; $16), perhaps the single most famous killing of its century. Combining his expert skills as a longtime cartoonist with a polished narrative drive and a sharp eye for bringing out surprising details, Geary's book reinvigorates this well-worn story with the excitement of a CSI episode and the historicity of a Ken Burns special...

Like his most famous creation, Fritz the Cat, Crumb seems to be running through multiple lives, as a wickedly dark commentator on America with an apparently inexhaustible supply of ideas - all of which are on display at the exhibition "Robert Crumb: A Chronicle of Modern Times" at London's Whitechapel Art Gallery. Crumb's brilliant, savage but also truly comic strips earned him immediate cult status when they were first published in the U.S. in the late...
