If the Fallout TV series has you hungry for more stories about life in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, then Duck and Cover might just be up your alley. This series reunites American Vampire writer Scott Snyder and artist Rafael Albuquerque to explore what happens after the bombs drop on 1950's America. Though currently exclusive to the Comixology Originals platform, IGN can reveal that Duck and Cover will be coming to print courtesy of Dark Horse Comics in September 2024.

The creative team for Duck and Cover also includes colorist Marcelo Maiolo (Nocterra, Jean Grey) and letterer Bernardo Brice (Census, Adora and The Distance).
Here's the official description for Duck and Cover:
For generations, the threat of nuclear attack was always in the corner of their minds. Millions of elementary school students and teens were taught that “the flash means act fast. Duck and cover!” But what happens AFTER the blast?
The year is 1955, and teenager Del Reeves dreams of ditching town life for a life in movies beyond projecting them at the local drive-in. But when Cold War nightmares become a reality, Del discovers that the film genres he’d grown up watching are more real than he could have ever imagined. When a sudden nuclear exchange obliterates the U.S., only the children who hid under their school desks are spared. These teens now find themselves the lone survivors in a strange and wild new ’50s America.
Duck and Cover #1 will be released in print on September 4, 2024. The trade paperback collection will be released on March 11, 2025 in bookstores and March 12, 2025 in comic shops.
