Description

Somewhere in the American Midwest, a mysterious comic book with supernatural powers has begun to threaten the livelihood of a small town called Nowheresville. The highways have become rivers, ordinary citizens have sprouted tentacles, and a bizarre double-murder has the whole community bewildered. Why Nowheresville? Why now? And most importantly: What's the story behind this meddlesome comic book's devious author?

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications.
