Apocalypse Nerd is a six-part comic book limited series created by Peter Bagge and published by Dark Horse Comics.
It revolves around two men, Perry and Gordo, attempting to survive in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest after Seattle is destroyed in a North Korean nuclear attack. Perry is a somewhat introverted computer programmer whilst his longtime friend Gordo works in various "self-employed" fields and is also a drug dealer. The story is a masculine character study as the two evolve and adapt to the changes in the post-apocalyptic world. Gordo becomes more amoralistic while Perry learns survival skills. Both have unique personality traits which help them adapt.
The end of every main chapter is followed by a story of the American Founding Fathers. These are somewhat humorous and based on actual events.
All last issue finally came out in November of 2007, with a trade paperback collection announced for early 2008.
