MORE ABOUT THE SHOW
The TALES FROM THE COMIC BOOK CRACK DOWN restages and interprets the Senate hearings of April 21, 1954, which damned the comic book industry for years after. We commemorate this infamous event of government censorship and repression 60 years later by spotlighting notorious comic publisher William Gaines, his EC comics and his sparring with the Senators. Fight the power and see the show!
