PETER BAGGE (W/A) On sale January 12, b&w, 32pg, $2.99. Imagine yourself in a post-apocalyptic world, when all the creature comforts that you've spent an entire lifetime taking for granted were suddenly gone for good. How do you see yourself reacting to such a situation? Would you "suck it up" and be stoically content? Or would you spend most of the time cursing your fate? We all like to picture ourselves as the former, though the latter is probably a more accurate portrayal?and that's exactly what our "hero" is like in Peter Bagge's new miniseries. MARVEL! as our protagonist, an asthma ridden, myopic former middle manager for a software company, has his limited survival skills continually put to the test, only to continually come up short! THRILL as his dumb childhood friend Jeff Beasley bullies him around, as he abuses his new found status as the undisputed alpha-male of the two! CRINGE! as what's left of human civilization continually deteriorates around them, and they along with it! Each issue will also feature a back of story detailing poignant yet humorous anecdotes about America's Founding Fathers. Finally, George Washington and his gang will be starring in comics of their own! Cover price $2.99.

Eventually, Perry decides he can't take it anymore and heads back towards civilization (or what's left of it) and takes his chances there instead. Will he go? Should he go? Is he doomed either way? Also in this issue: more amusing warts-and-all anecdotes about our beloved Founding Fathers! Cover price $2.99.

As our heroes Perry and Gordo slowly work their way back towards 'civilization,' they quickly realize that in the wake of the nuclear attack civilized society no longer exists. Entire communities abandoned! Rednecks killing each other over the last bottle of soda! Communes of nerds living behind barbed-wire encampments-and worst of all, no internet! Can our heroes adapt, or will they head back to the hills?! Also: a 'Founding Fathers Funnies' entry recounting the too-short life of the unjustly obscure war hero and radical John Laurens. Cover price $2.99.

Behold, the fourth installment of Peter Bagge's Apocalypse Nerd! Our 'heroes' have stumbled across a self-sustaining community of seemingly well-organized scientists and engineers. What luck! The encampment also has food and computers, and the only news that the pair have heard since Seattle went up in a cloud of nuclear smoke. But just when our neurotic, geeky protagonist Perry starts to feel he's sittin' pretty, all hell breaks loose! This could be a permanent rift between him and his best friend, Gordo . . . what's happened now?! Also, in 'Founding Fathers Funnies,' those wacky Bean Towners John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam and John Adams raise a little terrorist-style hell of their own. ? From the fan-favorite author of Hate. Cover price $2.99.

The thrilling conclusion to Peter Bagge's Apocalypse Nerd!
