Often the path to a successful cover isn't a straight line. That was certainly the case illustrating Ray Bradbury's iconic novel. 1/7

Dressed in a black leather Gestapo coat, Guy Montag stands in front of the flaming ruins of a house. His head is craned and his expression pained as he seems to be looking away from what he's done. Dual tanks of his flamethrower can be seen over his shoulder. He holds the end like a pistol pointed down. The flamethrower has a front handgrip along the long nozzle like a Tommygun. On the lapel, a Phoenix crest is set inside a circle. A red salamander is painted on each cuff of his jacket. Absently, he tucks a book into his jacket. A pile of books in front of him still smolders as papers tumble in the night breeze up, arcing up towards a full moon glowing in the gray, cloud covered sky. A multi-legged mechanical hound lurks in the background, eyes glowing menacingly.

The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, exponentially more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics."

"BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE PEOPLE LISTEN. THEY HAVE TO COME ROUND IN THEIR OWN TIME, WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY THE WORLD BLEW UP UNDER THEM.”

This quote serves equally well for #Fascism as it does #ClimateChange and indeed so much else. It's well past time we got serious and a great many of us, our leadership most of all, remain as frivolous, under-informed & drastically unsuited to the challenge as we've ever been. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America

I often cite Ray Bradbury's brilliantly poignant short story "The Flying Machine" when talking about this ill-considered headlong rush for an "AI"-mediated society that is being thrust upon us.

Today I learned there's a version of that must-read short story in graphic short story format. Take the time to read and appreciate the point Bradbury was trying to make.

With great power comes great responsibility. This is the major theme of Ray Bradbury’s short story from 1953, titled The Flying Machine . It was adapted into a comic in 1954 by Al Feldstein, and the full piece is pictured here. It tells the story of a meeting between an emperor and an inventor who
