The second play (following last season's THE MARK OF KANE) in Mark Pracht's trilogy about the history of the comic book industry is about the 1950s Congressional investigation into comic books, and the effect of this on three people: William Gaines, creator of horror comics; Matt Baker, Black closeted gay artist of romance comics; and Janice Valleau, creator of an early woman-detective feature. Pracht will direct.
