Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Electrified Tesla, Written and illustrated by Cynthia von Buhler, 2021 (Hard Case Crime/Titan Comics/Random House)
Cynthia von Buhler’s latest graphic novel is woven around true crime facts such as Nazi interest in Nikola Tesla’s death ray, Josephine Baker’s spy activity during WWII, and Donald Trump’s uncle’s involvement in Tesla’s mysterious death.
Set during World War II, nearly two decades after the events of the first volume, - Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini – this talented female detective uncovers another sinister and twisted mystery when she gets involved with world-renowned inventor Nikola Tesla, Nazi agents, and the race to command the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. Based around lesser-known facts dug up by von Buhler, fictional Minky Woodcock partners (physically and professionally) with bisexual Josephine Baker, who was a WWII spy for the French in the 1940’s, as they outwit Nazi Otto Skorzency, the greedy JP Morgan family, and government officials, such as John Trump, Donald Trump’s scientist uncle, in the race to find Tesla’s mysterious weapon of mass destruction.
The hardcover book features cover art by the legendary Robert McGinnis, poster artist for the James Bond films and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Four comics will be released monthly beginning in April 2021. Visit the Minky Woodcock website for purchasing links and a gallery of variant covers. The hardcover compilation will be published in November. Pre-order the hardcover book now.
