World War II: 1946 / Families of Altered Wars

Ted Nomura’s two-issue series for Antarctic Press, launched in 1998, reimagines the aftermath of World War II through a sci-fi lens, where the conflict’s end triggers a cascade of altered timelines and fractured family histories. Published as a finite run, it explores how ordinary lives are reshaped by extraordinary wartime divergences, with Nomura handling both writing and art to craft a intimate, speculative take on legacy and consequence. A compact but resonant entry in the publisher’s alternative-history catalog, it matters for its focused, creator-driven vision of how personal and global upheavals intersect.
