“Weird Worlds” is a graphic novel collection of surreal and subversive science-fiction stories by masters of the bizarre, S.C.A.R. (Steve Carter and Antoinette Rydyr). Contains seven strange and fantastical stories including:
MS FEMISMO
Set in Australia after The Fall – like the rest of the globe, this is a land besieged by highly adaptive hybrids, evolutionary descendants of genetic experiments created by terrorists during an apocalyptic religious war that devastated the world.
THE FUGLIES
A pair of genetically enhanced girls go on a rampage of murder and cannibalistic mayhem while being chased by the authorities through a wilderness populated by savage genetic freaks and horrific mutations.
HYBRIDOS
In a distant galaxy humans crash land on the lost planet of Hybridos. Radiation from a massive stellar event caused all lifeforms to continually mutate. For humanity to survive they will need to adapt to living amongst the every-changing lifeforms or become absorbed by the evolutions they battle against.
UNWORLD
In the aeons before The Great Flood hybrid races and monstrous beasts lived upon The Earth alongside Mankind. A village of warrior Minotaurs find themselves under attack by an army of sorcerous amazons from the foreboding Mandragor Wood.
WAR OF THE WINGED WARRIOR WOMEN
An isolated Earth colony on the distant world of Valkyrei is besieged by a race of indigenous winged amazons called the Drugylla. The colony’s survival depends on Agent Gannon to identify a traitor who has been supplying the enemy with deadly, high-powered weapons.
SCOURGE OF THE SWAMPIES
Based on their Award Winning screenplay (Curse of the Swampies), “Scourge of the Swampies” depicts a future world where the Swampies have swelled their number to plague proportions and humanity’s reign upon the Earth is on the brink of toppling. While government officials are making clandestine deals with the swampies there is chaos in the street as rally groups demonstrate demanding that the government take action.
HORRORHEADS
In the battle ravaged wastelands of a far-flung future, a trio of mercenaries is hired to rescue the son of a wealthy multinationalist who has been abducted by a clan of perverse and sadistic mutants.
