John Carpenter's Tales of Science Fiction: Surviving Nuclear Attack

In 2019, Storm King Productions launched Surviving Nuclear Attack as a standalone five-issue miniseries within John Carpenter's Tales of Science Fiction anthology. The story, written by Carpenter and Sandy King, with art by Andres Esparza, explores the practical and psychological challenges of preparing for and enduring a nuclear catastrophe, grounding its sci-fi premise in stark, human-scale survival. This entry stands out for its methodical, almost instructional approach to a classic fear, blending Carpenter's signature tension with a gritty, real-world sensibility. It's a taut, self-contained thriller that matters for fans of grounded post-apocalyptic storytelling and Carpenter's direct involvement in the comics medium.
