BACKSTAGE
Web Comic
By: Molly Crabapple
Available on Act-i-Vate

Set in the Gilded Age of New York, Backstage is a comic romp through sex, drugs and murder. It appears every Thursday on ACT-I-VATE.

Backstage is a comic by artist and Dr. Sketchy's founder Molly Crabapple. The story follows the adventures of gossip-mongers / failed vaudevillians, Johnny Panama and Elizabeth Delancy, as they report on anarchist dance numbers, debauched uptown parties and cheap liquor for the yellow tabloid "Backstage".

“I'm friends with tons and tons of comic book artists and they peer pressured me into doing a comic even though I thought it would be way too much work and that the pay wouldn't be worth it. So I got suckered into it and now I love it. I started a web comic called Backstage, which is a tribute to the vaudeville halls of 1904 New York. It's a murder mystery set in the seedy underbelly of the city.”
