America, 1957. Elvis dominates
the airwaves and apple pie is served after every meal. But, with
the dark cloud of nuclear holocaust looming, Korean War vet Tim
McClean's major concern is taking care of his family in the atomic
age.
When the first bomb does drop on
an unexpecting Midwest city, Tim and his family
find
themselves plunged into a
strange new world, where what's left of the Unites States has gone
underground while continuing to wage war on Russia with unthinkable
tactics.
Based on Philip K. Dick's short
story Breakfast at Twilight, NUCLEAR FAMILY is written
by
Stephanie Phillips (Butcher of
Paris, Heavy Metal, ARTEMIS AND THE ASSASSIN, RED ATLANTIS) and
illustrated by Tony Shasteen (Star Trek). It is Cold War era
science fiction at its most timely and
terrifying.
