Rodney Barnes to Write Comic About Real Psychiatric Hospital
Killadelphia and The Boondocks writer Rodney Barnes is penning a comic about the real horrors committed at a Maryland psychiatric hospital that abused Black communities in Annapolis during the Jim Crow era. Crownsville will feature art by Elia Bonetti (Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy) and it is published by Oni Press. The five-part series will tell a ghost story set at the hospital, which closed in 2004.
