About Tales from the Comic Book Crackdown
Tales From the Comic Book Crackdown is a new musical that brings to life the dramatic Senate hearings on Juvenile Delinquency of April 21, 1954, which were designed to bring down the comic book industry as a whole. These hearings resulted in years of censorship and repression of the comic book industry.
One man stood up for comics and free expression. 32-year-old Bill Gaines, the most successful comic book publisher of his day, was the sole witness to come forward and testify on behalf of comic books. Despite his best efforts, the authorities carried the day, and Bill almost lost everything.
This forgotten American story is brought to life in a major new musical, complete with show-stopping tunes, projections of classic EC Comics’ art, and a real life twist ending. Presented as a part of Landmark’s Workshop Series in a concert-style staged reading format.
