We’re closing the final week of March 2026 with another comic inspired by a real person. This time, we’re going out with a bang. It’s Abe Lincoln!
You might ask, “But wait! I thought Lincoln was gay!”
Well, we’ll never know the exact truth, but one of the biggest reasons for that allegation is that Lincoln used to share a bed with his friend, Joshua Speed (see the first page of the gallery). Speed solicited sex workers and was said to be kind of a horndog during his bachelor era.
There’s no telling what happened on nights when Speed was broke and horny and Lincoln was there next to him.
The blurb:
The debut graphic novel from Noah Van Sciver follows the twentysomething Abraham Lincoln as he loses everything, long before becoming our most beloved president. Lincoln is a rising Whig in the state’s legislature as he arrives in Springfield, IL to practice law. With all of his possessions under his arms in two saddlebags, he is quickly given a place to stay by a womanizing young bachelor who becomes his friend and close confidant. Lincoln builds a life and begins friendships with the town’s top lawyers and politicians. He attends elegant dances and meets an independent-minded young woman from a high-society Kentucky family, and after a brisk courtship, becomes engaged. But, as time passes and uncertainty creeps in, young Lincoln is forced to battle a dark cloud of depression brought on by a chain of defeats and failures culminating into a nervous breakdown that threatens his life and sanity. This cloud of dark depression Lincoln calls “The Hypo.”
Dense crosshatching and an attention to detail help bring together this completely original telling of a man driven by an irrepressible desire to pull himself up by his bootstraps, overcome all obstacles, and become the person he strives to be. All the while unknowingly laying the foundation of character he would use as one of America’s greatest presidents.
