Apocalypse Nerd by Peter Bagge 120 pp.
When returning home after spending time in the Cascade Mountains, Perry and Gordo learn that the state of Washington has been nuked by the North Koreans. After Perry freaks out (for the first time) and Gordo is less than helpful, the duo head back to the cabin where they vacationed. They forage and hunt for food and fend off intruders. Eventually the two split up and Perry ends up rescued and then imprisoned by a group of women refugees. One of the women runs off with Perry and they end up foraging (and killing) together. There is a lot of killing in this book as desperate people attempt to survive after the bombing. It's grim with moments of humor. Bagge's art makes no one in the story attractive.
