The story of the fictional Maximus Wyld, a talented and admired actor in the golden age of Hollywood.

The incredible life of a wonderfully charismatic actor who paved the way for non-white comedians in a segregationist climate. His name appears in no credits mentions his name, and his face seems to have been erased from the annals. A true reinterpretation of the myth of American cinema through the prism of minorities, Black-Out shows the not-so-glamourous political and social sides of the Hollywood dream factory. "Through the thwarted ambitions of Maximus Wyld, against a backdrop of McCarthyism, the authors paint a ferocious picture of the Hollywood steamroller, predominantly crushing women and people of color." - Livres Hebdo
