Synopsis
The subtitle is: "or: OMNIMPOTENCE, being the Autobiography of Doctor Unknown Chaos, a Record of some Notable Events in the years between 1950 and 1986 with Further Consequences."
Uniquely illustrated by acclaimed comics artists Simon Bisley (ABC Warriors), Brian Bolland (Judge Dredd), Brett Ewins (Kano), Duncan Fegredo, Rian Hughes, Lin Jammett, Pete Mastin, Dave McKean (Sandman), Savage Pencil, Ed Pinsent and Bryan Talbot (Luther Arkwright).
Inside a nuclear reactor, no one can hear you scream. In 2006 it's 20 years since the world's worst nuclear accident.
At the time, the Low Carbon Kid, aka David Thorpe, was so shocked he wrote this book as a savage satire on the nuclear industry. David Thorpe was then a comics and tv scriptwriter (and journalist) - author of the Doc Chaos tv series and comics series.
Doc Chaos is the autobiography of nuclear power as a crazed, Frankensteinian scientist out of control, and persuading the world's leaders to take on this seductive and star-powering technology to its glorious self-destruction.
It is a tempestuous and disastrous love story in which the object and subject of love are chaos and nukes.

Review

"No one could be fully prepared for Doc Chaos. It is a comedy of terrors." -- New Musical Express (July 1988)
