PAST TIME
Writer: Joe Harris – Artist: Russell Mark Olson
Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual
Release Date: April 2nd, 2025
Synopsis: Henry Hayes could have been the best baseball player anybody ever saw, if only his dark affliction didn’t prevent him from playing in the daylight. But when the barnstorming circuit introduces a new novelty to the game—night baseball under the bright lights—will his dreams of playing pro ball finally be realized, or will his bloody past catch up with him before he gets the chance? From the midwest fields of the 1920s to the big city lights of today, Past Time is a small-town thriller on a National scale.
