Ashes in our Mouth

This story is inspired by a number of true events that have been knocking around my skull: in particular, that a solar flare really did nearly cause a nuclear war in 1967. And the second was that in the sixties, nuclear winter was an unknown potential consequence of nuclear war - was in fact science fiction, from their point of view. Something about that tickled my fancy, particularly as it gave me the opportunity to explore one of my favourite themes - Soviet space history. I also wanted to use the opportunity of being able to create Patreon-only comics, to try something a bit longer, and a little bit looser.

Let me know what you think.
