A local store and office of Hubris Comics, publishers of classic graphic novels before the Great War. The location also served as office space for production staff and as a television studio.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 453: "This is the local store and office of Hubris Comics, publishers of classic graphic novels. In addition to the downstairs shop, the building also includes offices for the production staff a small television studio on the fourth floor." A short time before the Great War, the studio was in the process of bringing the popular Silver Shroud franchise, previously finding success as a radio broadcast, to television.
==Layout==
Situated just west of Swan's Pond and the Boston Common, the building is small, with only four floors. The first floor features the shop, progressing to offices on the second and third floors and a television studio on the fourth floor. The entire building is infested by feral ghouls, with a glowing one on the top floor. A terminal is available on the top floor that allows the player character to control stage lights for the Silver Shroud set and also play the Silver Shroud theme over the system speakers.
