About
Bob McKay is the creator of the 1950s comic book superhero "Mad-Dog". When a Senate sub-committee decided such reading material could corrupt young readers, Mad-Dog faded into oblivion, and Bob became a greeting card artist. Years later the American-Canadian Trans-Continental Communications Company buys the rights to the series, and Bob is offered a chance to revive Mad-Dog.
