Punctuation question



I've searched for an example of this type of scenario in the handbooks
and am at a loss to find one. Could someone give me some guidance on this.

Does the comma work after the introductory element in the following sentence?

In Oates's short story "Where are you Going, Where Have You Been?," Arnold
Friend trys . . .

Should the comma simply be omitted in this case?
