It all started with a live reading of a feature film Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars script, and the show evolved from there.

Written by TAH creators Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, this 136-page hardcover anthology presents ten new stories from the worlds of the exciting adventure era. Brought to life by Artists from the comic community, each standalone tale celebrates and invigorates a different classic genre, including science fiction, fantasy, westerns, superheroes, horror, war dramas, and many others.

Click here for the graphic novel Thrilling Adventure! John Hodgman, Deranged Millionaire Len Wein, Creator of Wolverine Jackson Publick, Creator of ''The Venture Brothers'' Thrilling Adventure Hour (August 2011) L-R: Josh Malina, Busy Philipps, Marc Evan Jackson, Linda Cardellini, Nathan Fillion, and Mark Gagliardi The Thrilling Adventure Hour was a radio- directed production and podcast in the style of radio of yesteryear that took place monthly in Lago , a Los Angeles nightclub located in the former Theatre The show ran from March 2005[1] to April 2015. Each episode featured three non-serialized segments as well as songs and advertisements from fictitious sponsors. The show was written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker; and directed by Aaron Ginsburg. The original songs of the show were written by Acker and Blacker with composer and band leader Andy Paley. Story The roots of the thrilling adventure hour began in Blacker's living room where he and Acker held a reading of their script for a space western called Nevada Sparks, Marshal on Mars. Struck by the quality of the performances, they decided to launch a show with a radio vanity, so that the performers had the luxury of holding scripts in their hands and blocking at a minimum. The vanity allowed Acker and Blacker not to impose too heavily on their actor friends, while maintaining a regular deadline to generate material, refine their craft and workshop content in front of an audience. The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour began a five-year race at the M Bar in Hollywood in March 2005. WorkJuice's first players were Dave 'Gruber' Allen, Paget Brewster, Craig Cackowski, Mark Gagliardi, Marc Evan Jackson, Hal Lublin, Annie Savage and Paul F. Tompkins. In episode six, Eban Schletter performed a live musical accompaniment. Schletter wrote the theme song for Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars. In episode seven, the show was joined by Andy Paley. Acker - Blacker and Paley created musical content for the show. Paley arranged Schletter's Nevada sparks theme and performed themes and songs with his Andy Paley Orchestra, which at the time consisted of Jillinda Palmer, Ben Jaffe, and Brittney Westover. In eight, the show was joined by Joel Spence, a Foley artist and actor. Soon after, Aaron Ginsburg joined as director. Soon after, Samm Levine, Danny Strong and John DiMaggio joined the cast. Then James Urbaniak, John Ennis Ennis Autumn Reeser. The band Common Rotation made an appearance on the show and subsequently played. Common Rotation has become a regular staple after the thrilling adventure hour. Marc Evan Jackson hosted the Common Rotation segment, which included songs performed by Common Rotation as well as WorkJuice players and guest stars. The last performance of The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour at M Bar was reported in January 2010. In March 2010, The Thrilling Adventure Hour shortened its title and began its run in Largo at the Coronet where it continued. Starting in January 2011, the time for thrilling adventure began to podcast skits of past performances. [ In January 2011, the cast took to the road for the first time and presented two shows at SF Sketchfest. In October 2011, the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast joined the podcast network published by Chris Hardwick's Nerdist Industries. At SDCC 2014, Thrilling Adventure Hour gave a live crossover show with the cast of Welcome to Night Vale titled Thrilling Adventure Hour - Welcome to Night Vale Crossover, which went on sale on Night Vale Bandcamp and the iTunes music store on October 1, 2014. In 2015, it was announced that after 10 years of thrilling adventure hour monthly performances, the last such performance would be On April 11, 2015. [7] [8] Also announced, was that there will be two new monthly comics in the Nevada Sparks and Beyond Beliefs scenarios, starting in February 2015. The podcast will continue in the form of audio versions of the comics. The Thrilling Adventure Hour has returned for new episodes in October 2018.
