I'm enjoying this series. Any plans to look at the 2000AD post-apoc stories? "Survivors" simultaneously fascinated and frightened me as a kid.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Wasteland came out. I was a regular up at the (now defunct) comic shop. Someone had asked whats Wasteland, or made a comment about it. When quiet guy Pat burst out, "Its fucking Wasteland!". Which was way more than enough endorsement to for me. (You kinda have to know Pat, sheltered fella. Funnier than all get out) As for Xenozoic, one of my favorites. Love it, love the RPG too! Sadly I don't think I could really interest any of my crew in it. Which makes me a sad monkey.
ReplyDelete@Dan - I'm going to cover some European comics, but I;ll be hitting the big stuff and mainly things in print. I've forgotten (or skipped) some American one's too.
ReplyDelete@Uncle Sam - I should check of the Xenozoic Tales rpg.

ReplyDeleteSecond 2000AD as a useful source for wacky Post-Apocalyptic inspiration. The Cursed Earth of the Judge Dredd continuity has a lot of potential.
