	Wasteland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1987 horror/humor comic book anthology Wasteland, written by John Ostrander and Del Close and published by DC Comics

	Griggs, Novel, Family Comic 1
		Compound all of this uncertainty with our generational fear of the future and the specter of a self-perpetuating technological wasteland and you are left with neo-gothic comics and heavy metal music.
		One, I think it was War and Peace, skidded and hopped half-way across the cold gray cement and polyethylene surfaces of the Greyhound bus station in downtown San Francisco before coming to a halt in a grimy corner.
		Now that I think of it, this is just like those Russian novels that I complained about having to read in college, the ones I wanted to throw — actually the ones I did throw in some cases — against a wall.

	s22.txt
		Given that this is a Sonic comic, the answer should be a no-brainer, but this is no ordinary comic so a brief history lesson is in order.
		I'd wanted the comic to be more reflective of the SatAM style of storytelling where there was the guerrilla war against Robotnik as a pretext for both credible action sequences and also well-written interactions between the characters.
		One of them was that this is a comic that appealed to pre-adolescent boys and girls wouldn't form a significant share of the readership.

	:: News @ Ronin Studios ::
		This is a one shot, full color, 22 page comic about a father trying to find his estranged son, only for him to discover that his son has become a ruthless killer.
		However, being new doesn’t mean that they couldn’t do their part in spreading the universal message of comic book love that knows no bounds.
		Set against the backdrop a world in the grip of a second ice age, Wasteland tells the story of a man trying to save his son in a world gone mad.

	Calvin and Hobbes :: Magic On Paper
		The Sunday comics pages, once a gorgeous pasture for the art lover to graze in, have become a sullen wasteland where the strips are increasingly small, the layouts depressingly unimaginative.
		The characters Calvin and Hobbes, and all images and ideas thereof are copyrighted by Bill Watterson and those comic strips may not be reproduced without his express consent and the permission of the syndicate.
		Though the strip lasted just 10 years (1985-1995), Calvin & Hobbes remains the funniest, most poignant comic strip to hit newspapers in decades.

	SpannerWorks - Judge Dredd DVD Review
		Sylvester Stallone plays Joseph Dredd, a Judge (a sort of all-purpose police officer, judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one) in the post-apocalyptic (2139 to be precise, better mark that in your diary!) city of Mega City One, located in The Cursed Earth: a radioactive desert wasteland formerly known as the USA.
		The film's set designers and effects crew, on the other hand, have captured the gargantuan scale of Mega City One superbly, with brilliantly designed sets and visual effects sequences that look as though they were ripped straight from the comic book's pages.
		The film just doesn't capture the humour of the comic book, the acting is bad, the script is weak and Sylvester Stallone, physically a good match for the part, just seems to be sleepwalking through the film.

	Fanzing 33 - April 2001 - April Fool's Issue Quiz
		A. He uses his awesome powers to terraform the planet into a garish wasteland reminiscent of Las Vegas covered with pink flamingoes.

		Captain Greedle and Booga appeared in "What's New" a comic strip by Phil Foglio that appeared in Dragon Magazine #75.

	Unearthed Links - The Dot Eaters - Classic Video Game History
		I heard a couple years back about this project, and I was looking forward to seeing it make it to the theatres, being a huge fan of the gothic comic series by the great Neil Gaiman.
		If you're like me, you open the weekend funny pages and read them with a mixture of disgust and disappointment at how a once vibrant and often hilarious art form has turned into a wasteland of banal and idiotic strips by no-talent hacks.
		You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger, more informative and entertaining listing of comic book characters, across multiple mediums, from The Yellow Kid to Dilbert and back again.

	Inside Pulse v2 .::. Marvel Handbook
		In some generic comic wasteland far away from anyplace that has civilians or structures that shouldn't be damaged?
		Then he should be the most powerful character in all of comics.

		Marvel Age Runaways Vol 2 Teenage Wasteland Digest TPB, $7.99 - I really enjoyed the first trade and can't wait to give this one a read.
		Superman #209, $2.50 - A comic with art by Jim Lee should not be a lot of talking heads.

	Metroactive Movies Daniel Clowes
		Clowes and his wife had planned to go to Easter Island with a bunch of friends for the event--"I liked the idea of being there, and having the whole Western world destroyed--coming back to some kind of Planet of the Apes-like wasteland"--but it turned out to be astronomically expensive.
		Ghost World brought Clowes a broader audience, at the same time establishing him as one of the most important comic artists of the now crowded field, as well as a bona fide literary entity.
		Clowes is the creator of the highly acclaimed comic book Eightball and its spinoff anthologized graphic novels, including Ghost World and David Boring, his latest.

	Tribute to Del Close
		Del was an important figure in the ‘60s counterculture around Chicago and San Francisco (the bizarre but true story about the time he went roller-skating through the sewers of Chicago with a flashlight strapped to his head, shooting rats, is related in the first issue of Wasteland).
		Close’s real life was indeed the stuff of comic books, a real-life Forest Gump adventure. He was born in Kansas, where his cousin’s cousin--General Dwight Eisenhower--came over for Thanksgiving dinner.
		Comedy icon--and comic book creator--Del Close died March 4, 1999 at Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago. He was 64.

	Comixfan Forums - THE LIVING DEAD RISE ONCE AGAIN IN LAND OF THE DEAD
		The comic is set years in the future after the end of Romero's original Dead trilogy, where the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland while those still alive struggle to lead "normal" lives behind the walls of a fortified city.
		IDW Publishing today announced its agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group to publish a special five-part adaptation of a comic book miniseries based on Universal Pictures' upcoming horror film George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, which hits theaters June 24th 2005.
		Outside the city walls an army of the living dead is evolving, while inside anarchy is on the rise.

	The Yale Herald - Feb 25, 2005 - Hilarity is only one click away
		Hardly any online comics are worth the time it takes to load the images, but into this wasteland of lame humor Achewood (achewood.com) suddenly appeared in October 2001.
		Not only has he earned the love of fans ranging from a 92-year-old woman in San Francisco to middle-schoolers who love a comic that doesn't talk down to them, he has also proven that a comic strip needn't be printed to be an artistic and commercial success.
		The strip is written by Chris Onstad, a Stanford grad and disgruntled former rider of the Silicon Valley boom.

	CoffeeSwirls » Wisdom From Judge Dredd
		When they come to the conclusion that a younger generation of judges with youth and enthusiasm is more effective than their slower reflexes and wisdom, their final rite of passage takes them out of the mega-city and into the wasteland of uncertainty and lawlessness so they can bring the law to others as well.
		Rather than taking the Long Walk into the spiritual wasteland that was our home, this man decided to blend in, fix the refrigerator door (again!) and move on.
		Into the land of marginal movie success and comic books that are out of the mainstream.

	Guardian Unlimited Today's issues Judge Dredd
		It is now a quarter of a century that Judge Dredd has spent on the beat in Mega-City One, a metropolis with a population of 65m crammed behind the city walls with nuclear wasteland beyond.
		Last year it was voted best British comic and best comic in the world ever at the National Comics Awards.
		2000AD owners, Rebellion, said last year that they were in negotiations to do a £28m deal for a new Dredd film.

	Salon Entertainment Joyce Millman Middle-aged wasteland
		In Comedy Central's twisted new series "Strangers With Candy," celebrated New York playwright, comic and waitress Amy Sedaris plays Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old former teenage runaway, junkie, hooker and jailbird who returns home after 32 years determined to have the "normal" adolescence she never had.
		"Strangers With Candy" manages to sustain the "Afterschool Special" joke with its smudged, '70s neo-realistic look, generic pseudo-pop background music and Jerri's throwback wardrobe, which is so hideous I suspect it came from somebody's actual closet, not a Hollywood costume shop.
		Comedy Central's first live-action original non-skit series, "Strangers With Candy" is one of the most inventively bizarre shows in a long time (right up there with HBO's recent trial run of the mock-rock duo sitcom "Tenacious D").

	The Travel Bug Bookstore
		From the Arabian desert to the urban wasteland, from an ornate Southern California inn to a Colombian slaughterhouse cum cocaine front, the brilliantly evocative entries in this collection take us to the farthest extremes of travel with riveting tales of danger, disorientation, and bemused discomfort.
		This wild and comic tale of a Middle East mis-adventure reveals a fascinating world in which the ancient and the modern collide....$19.99
		Careening through thirteen Muslim countries and Israel, Horwitz travels light, packing a keen eye, a wicked sense of humor, and chutzpa in almost suicidal measure.

	Just A Pilgrim by Garth Ennis and Carlos Esquerra
		However, it was worth the trip, but since then you can now find it at various online comic stores.
		Only eight years after The Burn, their world completely altered to a desert wasteland, this party of settlers finds their quest for a better life hampered by a band of pirates or rather buckers.
		However, as the Donner party proved way back when, these adventures rarely go as planned.

	Amazon.com: Vic and Blood: The Chronicles of a Boy and His Dog: Books: Harlan Ellison,Richard Corben
		You get both comic and text versions of "Eggsucker", "A Boy and His Dog", and "Run Spot Run", and the texts are accompanied by a handfull of highly detailed Corben illustrations, along with sidebar quotes from Blood (The Wit and Wisdom of Blood).
		But when Blood sniffs out Quilla June--a girl who has come disguised as a boy to the womanless nuclear wasteland from an underground world (to which the population has fled from destruction)--Vic discovers love while Blood sees his own survival threatened.
		I read Ellison's stories later and was happy to find that the comics were very faithful adaptations.

	Valley Girl Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		This comic updating of Romeo and Juliet stars Cage as Randy, a Hollywood hipster who falls in love with prototypical Valley Girl, Julie (Deborah Foreman), after he crashes a party in what he considers an arid wasteland, suburban San Fernando Valley.
		Valley Girl was made on a shoestring budget of $350,000 and, from its executive producers' point-of-view, meant to be a cheap exploitation flick.
		Twenty years later, Valley Girl with its New Wave soundtrack (one of the first of its kind, becoming almost another character in the film), slang, and big hair is very much an artifact of its time.

	Playbill News: Evans and Gambon to Play Out Beckett’s Endgame in Spring 2004
		The play depicts Hamm and his parents, Nagg and Nell, and their static lives in an unnamed wasteland, while Clov rushes around getting things for them.
		The bendy comedian is set to take on one of theatre’s quirkiest, bleakest comic voices — Samuel Beckett.
		Gambon starred in the play when it was directed for TV by Conor McPherson in 2000 (alongside David Thewlis).

	The Wedding Singer Movie Review
		He's the kind of comic who is often funny, but just as often so irritating that you'd like to take a swing at him.
		The film is just a trifle, but in the mid-winter cinematic wasteland, you have to grade on a curve.
		In "The Wedding Singer," Sandler reigns in his more annoying character traits for the most part, playing a veritable Boy Scout lost in the self-centered, hedonistic 80s.

	The Comic Asylum: March 2005
		Despite the current demand companies might see for such "crossover" stylings, I fear it's little more than a fad, which when it ends, will leave both manga and traditional comics as little more than a pop culture wasteland, which is seen as little more than an insignificant cottage industry.
		Just as not every comic concept would work as a movie, nor every movie would work in comics format.
		Tadeo has remianed a much more "behind the scenes" player in the comic industry for some time, but it was recently made known that Taddeo is currently making plans to re-enter comics in a big way with his new company Assassination Entertainment.

	Eye - Down and out in Uzbekistan - 04.01.04
		After a few hundred pages of comic/ tragic adventures, he finally arrives at Moynaq, once the Aral seaside destination of choice for Stalin's bureaucrats, now a parched wasteland of tuberculosis, over 70 miles from the beach's dehydrated shore.
		Bissell only tangentially mentions this conflict, which is fine: there's plenty of misery to spare elsewhere.
		Thanks to the Communist Party's suicidal cottonfield irrigation system, the Aral Sea -- once larger than Lake Huron -- has shrunk by over 50 per cent in as many years.
