A mystical Music Box has been recording every conversation in the Oval Office for 200 years… But when a Historian, a Political journalist, and a sound engineer find it, what kind of secret will they uncover?
Three covers available.
Uli Troy is a historian working at the secret White House storage facility, somewhere in Maryland. He never thought he’d stumble upon one of the most explosive secrets American Presidents have managed to keep under wraps: a music box, which stayed in the Oval Office for 200 years and recorded every conversation in the room, unbeknownst to any soul!
Ironically, THE BLACK BOX was produced in 2011 and similarly remained shelved for over a decade. It’s a beautiful time capsule, though. Fabrice Sapolsky had just wrapped up co-writing a SPIDER-MAN NOIR mini-series for Marvel and Tom Lyle (SCARLET SPIDER, ROBIN III, STARMAN) was looking to re-enter the comic book game after a five year hiatus.
Unfortunately, Tom passed away in November 2019. Prior to his untimely passing, he and Fabrice had made plans to bring THE BLACK BOX back with this original tale, plus new ones that they would co-write. In 2022, this story finally sees light.
