Fat Man Seminar Review

One thing that really struck me during seminar was how Brandon related the Nuclear War with comic book characters. It was interesting to me because it demonstrated a type of coping mechanism for the Cold War, portraying radiation as a “superpower” rather than a disaster. I had merely one question of mine that was answered, which was about the title page and what the picture on it meant. However one question that still lingers, and wasn’t quite answered, was about how fallout shelters would save lives, and whether or not the world would really end up like a Nazis paradise in post Nuclear War.

    I really like the idea of some cold war superheros being a type of "coping mechanism" for the cold war. I wonder which superheroes came from that period and which ones gained there power from nuclear radiation. I think it's safe to say that the world would not end up like a Nazi paradise in a post-war world.

    Interesting images Travis. The view from outer space is unique.

    Who wrote the poem?
