Plot
The story revolves around two men, Perry and Gordo, attempting to survive in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest after Seattle is destroyed in a North Korean nuclear attack. Perry is a somewhat introverted computer programmer whilst his longtime friend Gordo works in various "self-employed" fields and is also a drug dealer. The story is a masculine character study as the two evolve and adapt to the changes in the post-apocalyptic world. Gordo becomes more amoralistic while Perry learns survival skills. Both have unique personality traits which help them adapt.
The end of every main chapter is followed by a story of the American Founding Fathers. These are somewhat humorous and based on actual events.
Collected editions
A trade paperback collection released in March 2008 (Template:ISBN).
Television adaptation
Fantagraphics, who publish much of Bagge's work, reported in early 2010 that Apocalypse Nerd was adapted as a six-part series for television by Nois Productions (Alex Carvalho/Tupaq Felber) and the pilot was being pitched to BBC.[2] It was renamed first as Fallout (Nois released a 25-minute short film version under that title on February 1, 2013[3]) and then Wasted.[4] The full film has yet to be released.
