8.5 x 5.5 inches, black & white printing, 36 pages.

Set in 1992 during Game 4 of the NBA finals in Portland, OR, the former US President, John F. Kennedy, is hunted by the Predator. Yes, that JFK. No, not that Predator. This is the real one which, through a convoluted series of events, they based the movie on later. Not an alien, but more like a robot or android assassin. And that's only the half of it. Things start to really get going when a mysterious, impeccably dressed, woman in a courtside seat recognizes "[...] the face of a man who has just removed his cap to scratch his gray head as he enjoys a lollipop."
