A Nevada test site after the fallout

Set in Nevada in 1962, this graphic novel begins with a nuclear test at the secretive Gaines Army Base gone wrong and a contaminant released into the atmosphere. Army private Otis Fallows is described as the test’s only known survivor; his flight from the base in search of safety gives the story its central question: whether any refuge remains. The premise combines a Cold War-era setting, military secrecy and post-apocalyptic science fiction, with the danger emerging from a disaster’s effects on people. This paperback collects all six issues, bringing the complete series together in one volume.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic science-fiction comics.

Book overview

Interrupting your regularly scheduled broadcast to deliver a terrifying sci-fi story that takes place in Nevada in 1962 after a nuclear bomb test goes horribly awry.

In 1962 Nevada's "Atomic Alley," a nuclear bomb test goes horribly awry at the secretive Gaines Army Base and unleashes a contaminate into the atmosphere that turns people rotten. Otis Fallows, a private in the U.S. Army who is present for the test and is the only known survivor, flees the secret army base in search of a safe haven--but does such a place exist?

Written by Chris Condon, (THAT TEXAS BLOOD, Ultimate Wolverine), and drawn by the visionary artist Jeffrey Alan Love (The Last Battle at the End of the World, The Thousand Demon Tree), fans of 60s sci-fi films and TV shows like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits and the works of authors Stephen King and Richard Matheson will love this eery graphic novel.

Collects all 6 issues.

Select early praise for News from the Fallout:

"A comic that's equal parts sci-fi mystery and nuclear fueled nightmare, searing itself into the reader's brain via its disturbing imagery and compelling story." --AIPT

"A truly powerful introduction to the series...simply a must-read horror comic." --Capes & Tights

"A wildly stylish comic book that revels in being over-the-top both with its characters and its visuals." --Major Spoilers

"A hell of a debut that is one horror fans won't want to miss. It's far more than a simple nuclear-bomb-creates-monsters story." --Graphic Policy

"A truly distinctive experience. Horror fans owe it to themselves to pick up News from the Fallout." --Comic Watch

"Builds tremendous suspense." --Nerd Initiative

"If you're tired of formulaic horror, pick up this up today. This bold, unnerving, absolutely unforgettable new twist on a beloved horror coupled with a visual storytelling masterpiece, wont disappoint." --ComicsOnline

"Individually the creators are dynamite. Together, they are like an atomic bomb. Literally." --Comicon

"A bleak and visceral read that is heavily reliant on visual storytelling in the best possible way. It's a comic that will grip you from page one and never let you go." --Get Your Comic On

"Equally gripping and atmospheric." --GonkBonk

"Transports the reader into the era of '60s horror, feeling quintessential of genre stories from the period." --Comics Bulletin

"One of the coolest-looking comic books in recent memory." --Monkeys Fighting Robots

"A deliciously grim start... What makes this one special, though, is its overall design... Dialogue that deceives and gloomy character designs converge for an experience that finds a lot of despair mixed in with the intrigue surrounding the bomb test. And like most disasters, it's impossible not to look at." --Comics Beat

"One of the scariest books of the year." --Gatecrashers
