"This tightly scripted anti-nuclear work follows a retired couple through the preparations for and aftermath of a nuclear strike on the UK. The couple is stereotypically English and of their generation, brought up during the air raids of World War II, incapable of comprehending any enemy other than the 'Jerries' (Germans), and with a naive confidence that the leaflets issued by the local government can protect them from the inevitable holocaust.

Briggs imbues Jim and Hilda with so much character you can't help but feel empathy. That the mixture of ignorance, naivety and stiff-upper-lip tighten-your-belt attitude keeps them on the right side of desperation only makes their situation more heart-wrenchingly sad.

A master of the emotions, Briggs is as adept with the artwork as with the story. Using pastel shades throughout, the pictures are easily as expressive as the words. The simple caricatures only help Briggs ram his apocalyptic horror home even harder."
