Description: For years, the threat of nuclear attack was always present. Elementary school students and teens were taught: "The flash means act fast. Duck and cover!" But what happens after the blast? The year is 1955, and Del Reeves dreams of ditching small-town life for a life in movies---beyond projecting them at the local drive-inches But when Cold War nightmares become a reality. Del discovers that the film genres he'd grown up watching are more real than he could have ever imagined. A sudden nuclear exchange obliterates the US, and only the kids who hid under their school desks are spared. These teens now find themselves the lone survivors in a strange and wild new '50's America.--
Review Quotes: "This comic plays to Snyder's strengths, with a cast full of unique personalities and the use of nostalgia for what never was to make the violence and cruelty cut a little deeper. Albuquerque's art, as always, is fantastic and he's still clearly one of the best in the business. All in all, this was a very solid debut and has all the makings of an American Vampire-esque hit." Rating: 4.5/5--ComicBook.com
"One part 'American Graffiti' and another part 'Mad Max', 'Duck And Cover' #1 is a thrilling, genre-blending adventure that does away with the rosy glow of nostalgia to depict a darker, more divided America as it really was, but with the added danger of a bleak, world-threatening apocalypse. " 10/10--Comicon
