Visual biographer Paul Belard published another installment in his ongoing graphic biography series. This new volume is titles 'Elvis 1958 April - May'.

On the 28th, he is transferred to Fort Hood in Texas, where he is assigned to the Second Armored Division, General Patton’s former “Hells on Wheels” outfit.
Three dozen or so newsmen and photographers await Elvis’ arrival. After a press conference and his first meal, he is declared off-limits to the media. From that point on, he would be “just another soldier”. Basic training started immediately and would last for the next two months.
