- Based on the popular Hollywood stage show and Nerdist Industry podcast,
The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a rip-roaring adventure anthology in the
tradition of old-time radio serials, brought to you by a carnival of Hollywood
and comic's finest! In a timeless collection of original genre tales that harken
back to the heyday of old-time radio entertainment, The Thrilling Adventure
Hour brings to life the wild and wonderful worlds and characters serialized
on stage by co-creators Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, and performed regularly by
fan-favorite actors and comedians such as Paul F. Tompkins, Paget Brewster, Busy
Philipps, Nathan Fillion, Linda Cardellini, Patton Oswalt, Neil Patrick Harris,
and many, many more. And now those serialized characters will come to life on
the pages of this hardcover anthology featuring all-new stories from the worlds
of the TAH universe by top artists from the comics community!
- Each stand-alone tale celebrates and reinvigorates a new genre from the
radio comedies of yesteryear, including science fiction, fantasy, westerns,
superheroes, horror, war dramas, and many more. A unique, timey-wimey blend of
silver age pulp and post-modern pop, this one-of-a-kind anthology promises
something for everyone as this cult phenomenon jumps off the proscenium stage
and onto the page for the first time in over eight years and 100+ consecutive
shows around the globe!
"Acker and Blacker are comic geniuses and The
Thrilling Adventure Hour is one of my favorite things in the world." -
Ed Brubaker, award-winning writer of Fatale, Criminal, Gotham
Central, and Captain America
