Step right up ladies and gentlemen and marvel at
the incredible Johnny Eck T-Shirt! This shirt was produced after
Johnny's death in 1991. Johnny Eck (his real last name was Eckhardt
) was born without any lower part of his body - when he entered
the sideshow business he was billed as the "Half Boy".
He became a sideshow superstar in the 1920's-30's and starred in
the classic movie "Freaks" in 1932. On this shirt Johnny
is performing his trademark trick "the
one hand-handstand" just like he had done countless times in
sideshows all over the country! We miss you Johnny!
