This is a "snapshot" of Houdini's life, centering on one of his most famous jumps. As Houdini prepares for a death-defying leap into the icy Charles River in Boston, biographer Jason Lutes and artist Nick Bertozzi reveal Houdini's life and influence: from the anti-Semitism Houdini fought all his life, to the adulation of the American public; from his hounding by the press, to his loving relationship with his wife Bess; from his egoism to his insecurity; from his public persona -- to the secret behind his most amazing trick! And it's all in graphic form, so it's fresh, original, and unlike anything previously published about this most fascinating of American showmen. <BR> <BR></DIV> 475857 book 1 4 2007 Houdini: The Handcuff King total:211|5:32|4:70|3:74|2:33|1:2| 211 730 267 57 4 3 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 15 11:55:28 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 21 11:52:39 -0800 2007 Houdini: The Handcuff King.
