BONUS REVIEW by John "Doc" Schaefer
 It's a well known fact that any comic featuring a group of historical figures is going to perk up comic fans ears. No one is willing to go on record but they sure show up the day the books comes out! League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Comeback Kings, and now Rough Riders! Add in Adam Glass's story and Patrick Olliffe's art and we are off to a great start. Teddy Roosevelt is exactly the character you'd expect and Jack "The Galveston Giant" Johnson rings true as well. I look forward to meeting the other members of our little group in the up coming issues. Put it on your monthly list! I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
