First Four Pages of Bicyclopolis

35W Overpass Collapse

Ken Avidor creator of Roadkill Bill has posted the first four pages of his graphic novel Bicyclopolis over on his blog.

What the hell is Bicyclopolis you ask?

I began my journey to Bicyclopolis in 2076, nearly 65 years after all contact with the North American continent ceased. Travel was restricted as the chaos and violence swept over North America after the “Peak Oil” year of 2006. The runaway greenhouse effect that began in 2015 spawned scores of powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean increasing the risk to travelers. Since ships that burned fossil fuels were banned by the final Kyoto Convention of 2018, no sailing ship would attempt the dangerous Atlantic voyage to America. After the loss of radio transmissions, the fate of Americans in the Post-Industrial Era remained a mystery.

I’ve no idea if this is for sale or not yet but I have been following the sketches and progress of this bizarre piece of fiction for a few years.

Check this link dump for more info on the post-petroleum piece of fiction.

PS That picture of a collapsed 35W was created long before it actually collapsed.
