Avec un tel titre, on pouvait s’attendre à ce que ça se déroule pendant les années 50… En revanche, le « manga-influenced », je me demande ce que ça recouvre.

« Duck and Cover » ça me fait toujours penser à l’épisode de South Park avec le volcan (et Kukrapock avec sa jambe en Patrick Duffy :rofl:)

Je n’ai jamais regardé South Park.
Le peu que j’en ai vu ne m’a jamais fait envie.

Hm et il est ou le manga donc ?

Tu veux vraiment connaître la réponse ?

Comixology Originals has announced a July 11 digital launch for Duck and Cover, a post-apocalyptic adventure series from Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque, with a historical twist.

The book is part of Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line, in conjunction with Best Jackett Press and Stout Club Entertainment.

« Duck and Cover is a character driven thrill-ride that blends elements of manga, 1950’s Americana, and post-apocalyptic lore to create something truly unique, » Snyder said.

Here’s how the book is described:

"For generations, the threat of nuclear attack was always in the corner of their minds. Millions of elementary school students and teens were taught that ‹ the flash means act fast. Duck and cover! › But what happens after the blast?

« The year is 1955, and teenager Del Reeves dreams of ditching town life for a life in movies beyond projecting them at the local drive-in. 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. When a sudden nuclear exchange obliterates the U.S., only the children 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. »

« Scott and I had so much fun following the decades of American culture and history through American Vampire, I’m thrilled to revisit the '50’s in a whole new way, » Albuquerque said."
