Bob Clutterbuck, Ian McCorist, Moll, Nicky Gray, Sarah CurtisMelbourne: Walker Press, 1977.
First Edition.
27cm x 19.5cm. 24 pages, two-colour illustrations. Illustrated saddle-stapled self-wrappers.
Anti-nuclear comic addressing uranium mining in Australia, Aboriginal land rights, and radioactive waste, including the Rum Jungle uranium mine and its contaminated tailings. Combines comic-strip illustration by Moll with informational text panels presenting historical and scientific context, situating Australian concerns within the broader global nuclear narrative. Published during a high point of Australian anti-uranium activism, as campaigns against mining on Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory intensified. A representative example of the activist comix tradition, using the underground format for political education rather than pure satire.
