{{quote|''"[[Secret History|There are two histories, one that is told and one that isn't]]. I, [[Abraham Lincoln]], do order that America's strangest, most secret histories will only be recorded in one book. These are the adventures of the Amazing Screw-On Head."''}}
 
An Eisner-award winning one shot comic book by ''[[Hellboy]]'' creator Mike Mignola. Adapted into a pilot episode for The [[SyfySyFy|the Sci-Fi network]] by Bryan Fuller, creator of ''[[Dead Like Me]]'', ''[[Wonderfalls]]'' and ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' with Paul Giamatti as the title character.
 
Both feature a Victorian robot who works as a secret agent for President [[Abraham Lincoln]], who has the ability to place his head onto different robot bodies for whatever occasion suits him.
