Produktbeschreibung

"This robust new play reveals the writers and artists who launched an enduring icon of American popular culture, Batman." - Chicago On Stage

It's 1939, and the vibrant energy of a Bronx apartment sparks the creation of an iconic legend. Picture two young friends, driven by passion and creativity, giving life to a hero that would forever etch its place in the rich tapestry of American comic book history. Little did they know that their collaboration would birth a legacy that would transcend generations.

Bob Kane, one of the architects of this groundbreaking creation, would go on to reap the rewards of his imaginative prowess, enjoying years of acclaim and success. However, the story takes a twist as Pracht unveils the lesser-known contributor, Bill Finger, the unsung hero who played a pivotal role in shaping this remarkable legacy but faded into obscurity. Together, they forged a dark knight, a caped crusader who leaves an indelible cultural imprint that continues to captivate audiences and ignite the imaginations of comic book enthusiasts across the globe.

Journey through time and creativity as the play unravels the intricate layers of this captivating true tale. Discover the unsung hero's untold story, the struggles, the triumphs, and the everlasting impact of The Mark Of Kane. Immerse yourself in the magic of 1939, where friendship, creativity, and the birth of an enduring legend converge in a narrative that transcends the pages of comic books and becomes a cultural phenomenon. This is more than just a story; it's a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the indomitable spirit that breathes life into legends.

This play begins "The Four-Color Trilogy," highlighting major turning points in American comic book history.
