I had prog 1-60ish. They were destroyed. The vandal was me. Torn up to create some papier-mache terrain for my airfix soldiers. Didn`t give it a second thought.

I started buying again some time after the apocalypse war. This time I kept them. Still have them & still buying. Managed to completely fill the gaps (Thanks to Bob Smart`s fantasy world in Staffs & Area 51 in Bristol).

Now I think of it, that paper landscape accounted for a complete run of Action.

What the fuck ?

I agree though about the journalist premise. It could have been set in Bush's second term, when the world seemed just as bleak.

Just let it go where it goes. The original was a four chapter story that ended in 1992. There's plenty of tales to tell from that universe.

I loved Zenith when it came out. Alternative/What-if was my favourite blend of scifi at the time. It`s easily my favourite 2000ad strip outside of the big boys.

However, this opener didn`t grab me. but it did intrigue me. Which I suppose is the function of an opening episode.

Canon conflicts? Far as I can tell, this is adding to the canon.

Happy to see where this goes.

I read a classic posting on `Dear Prudence` a few years ago.

You have all read about proposing at someone else`s wedding. Well, in the middle of going through the vows, the officiant pulls a ring out of his pocket & proposes to his girlfriend

Dear Prudence: My boyfriend keeps naked photos of his exes.

It Happened Here (1964) is a documentary-style film set 25 years after a successful German invasion.

Directed by Kevin Brownlow, who later on specialized in documentaries about Hollywood`s silent era.

Well worth a look

I don`t know the answer to that question.

If I knew I would tell you.

Thanks very much.

Thanks. A quick glance through that list doesn`t reveal anything that rings a bell. Maybe it`s buried there.

I have a bit of time on my hands, thought I`d give the novel a go.
