The spirit of alternative comics journalism has been championed by Leonard Rifas for close to half a century now, and he's still at it! Here in the pages of Ground Zero Comics, he and a multi-generational team of alt comics creators have put together an informative – if terrifying – look at the reality of what nuclear war means to the rest of us (i.e., those not in the military). It's important – if hugely depressing – to have at least a rudimentary grasp of the reality of nuclear weapons, as we all live with them every day. Ground Zero Comics does the job – with a special focus on Seattle in both employing it as the theoretical "target city" for the purposes of showing the effects of a single nuclear bomb and also because the city is adjacent to the U.S. Navy's Bangor Trident Submarine Base, which, according to Rifas, contains the "world's largest arsenal of ready-to-use nuclear weapons."
