Software engineer Perry and his friend Gordo are two average suburban guys who just wanted to go camping in North Cascade Mountains near Seattle - but Kim Jung Il had other plans.

Now Seattle is a smoldering nuclear wasteland and Perry and Gordo are about to be put to the test in ways they have never imagined.

From the mind of acclaimed artist Peter Bagge comes a post-apocalyptic tale which will have you both laughing and gasping in horror!

Staff Review of issue #1
If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic tales like DAWN OF THE DEAD or NIGHT OF THE COMET, Bagge's new comic about a couple of guys in the Pacific Northwest who discover the world is ending is not only a treat, but it provides the ultimate canvas for the artist to explore his Libertarian inclinations (which work better here than in some of his other comics). While the art for the main story looks as if it was originally inked in anticipation of coloring that never happened (where once Bagge indulged in cross-hatching and zip-a-tone, now it's just computery half-tones), the back up 'Founding Father Stories' (about US Presidents) shows Bagge in full cross-hatching glory.
