Set in Fifties Hollywood, The World of Tomorrow follows the journey of Craig Barstow, the burned-out lead actor of the (previously) #1 sci-fi TV present, aptly named: The World of Tomorrow. When the present is canceled, and the mob comes calling for his unpaid playing money owed, a failed hit job leaves him delusional and believing he really is the present’s valiant protagonist: Captain Cal Armstrong. Now, with the mob on his tail, and the tyrannical studio boss at his throat, he should discover a option to preserve his present on the air, regain his sanity, and get the mob off his tail, all earlier than the present’s closing 5 pm broadcast.

Artwork for the collection is by Kenan Halilović, who has drawn for such titles as Legacy and Witch Creek Street.
“Kenan actually captured an correct feel and look of the time interval”, defined Clarke. “Going into manufacturing, we had a reference deck of historic pictures of each location, character, costume, prop, and car. Something that was happening the web page was in that deck. Along with his technical accuracy, Kenan’s capability to painting nuanced emotion within the characters actually landed the comedy and the drama in each panel.”
