History
Each chapter is usually no longer than one paragraph.
Lobo carried a copy with him for moments of downtime. Its perfunctory prose and sombre subject matter was suited to a man of his ilk.
Chapter 1 Weird Tale From a Goldmine - The Gazza mine was the richest ever discovered - and it all began with one man. He, with 17 close relatives and almost 4,000 employees, perished in a nuclear-blast caused by an embittered acrobat.
- The End.[1]
Chapter 2 Ah Feel Like Ahcid - 25 years ago, Don van Vlon invented an acid so strong it could eat through anything. To date, more than a billion Abbazabbans have died and half their planet dissolved as scientists desperately seek an antidote.
- The End.[2]
Chapter 3 Too Much to Dream Last Night - Chemical crazy Ozzy Ozzy released just 13 grams of his patented micro-hallucinogenic, Bummer-25, into the air at the interplanetary witches' sabbat. The unexpected maelstrom between dimensions which resulted has so far sucked in more than 13 hundred thousand qualified practitioners of the so-called black arts.
- The End.[3]
Chapter 4 Eve of Destruction - The Eastern World, it is exploding... BOOM!.
- The End.[4]
Chapter 5 All Along the Watchtower - All along the watchtower, giant pits containing flesh-eating centipedes have been set up to catch unwary travellers. More than a million have died in the past year alone.
- The End.[5]
