6. Comics, books, the paranormal...they've all got moments worthy of a Short Sharp Shock. And there'll be plenty in Volume Three!

6. In 1982/2104, the unthinkable happened to Mega City One: Sov nukes destroyed half the city, killing 400 million citizens. 'The Apocalypse War' would change Judge Dredd, and comics, forever, with the effects still being felt today. And to my 11 year old self, it was terrifying.

3. And there was another Protect and Survive. A monthly survivalist magazine with hints and tips (and occasional DIY features) on how to survive the unthinkable. A CoE vicar wrote to the mag, suggesting 'our current taboo against cannibalism may disappear'. Needs must etc.

6. One writer did more to push the medium forward than any other. From the horror of Swamp Thing to the existential despair of The Killing Joke; from the strangest DC comics ever to From Hell. Oh, and a certain smiley badge...
James Kerr shows us that Alan Moore knows the score!

5. The Reagan era was the time of the Super-Patriot. Marvel installed a new, right-wing Captain America, indie comics brought us the satirical, darkly humorous The American, and then there was (ulp) Captain Confederacy (don't worry, it's not what it seems)...

9. The Computer Nasties saw adaptations of films we didn't have a hope of seeing outside of 10th generation pirate tapes. Witness the 8-bit versions of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remember the guy in the beige suit? Me either), Evil Dead, Alien, and erm...Death Wish 3?
