2022: William 'The Wizard' Gardener is a reclusive comic book creator and artist who has been the sole voice of the legendary Psychedelic Knights of the 5th Dimension for decades, inspiring creativity in man in order to combat Vanta Black's spread of self-doubt, despair and hopelessness in our world. But William grows old and tired, and his once-revered comic book series is now relegated to flea markets and bargain bins across the world. Years ago, William enlisted the help of up-and-coming writer/artist Kurt 'The Great One' Gideon to carry on the Knights legacy, but a disillusioned Kurt turned to fame and drugs, becoming an industry pariah. After years of silence, William needs Kurt's help again
this time to continue William's legacy and join the long line of dreamers and artists who have kept Vanta Black from seeping into our dimension for generations? Knights of the 5th Dimension is a love letter to Bronze Age comic books and an homage to the Jack Kirby creations that still adorn comic book shelves, movie screens, and TV sets everywhere.
