In 1986 comics artist Mike Weller is left complete manuscripts, artworks, typescripts and collected published works of 1930s pulp magazine writer, Ed Mogil.
Mike finds himself with ten-year mission bringing Mogil’s characters to renewed life. Mike frames the stories through ‘good’ and ‘evil’ comic book superheroes and supervillains – the Cosmic Crusaders vs the Duke of Hell. Stories are framed within another story – Weller’s four-dimensional alterity dreams and space voyages soundtracked by 20th century rock and roll and pop music. A strange space opera.
Twenty years on; with better understanding of Hubble volume, many worlds, bubble, ergodicity, string theories – Mick Weller makes three discoveries
i) Four versions of himself, Mike or Mick, Michael, MJ and Michael John - co-existing in similar realities - is not unlike four-level metaverses of astrophysics
ii) Mogil’s notion of 9 + 1+ levels of seen/unseen Realities is not unlike 10+ dimensional string theory
iii) The Cosmic Squad’s fairy-tale combination of numbers Key to the Universe is not unlike equation-key to solving measure problem of multi dimensions

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

'I have accurately recorded the events near the time of my brother's death and what followed; they combine to reveal an intriguing story. Did he die naturally or was he helped in some way? Has a crime or two taken place? Some may think so. Maybe there is a conspiracy, if so how far it may extend is unclear. I am certain that nothing is quite as it should be. Nevertheless this account shows a fascinating view of human nature, society and the establishment in the United Kingdom. The story is so bizarre that it could well be fiction, and that is why I have added "A story of truth or fantasy" to the title. What is frightening is that it is all absolutely true. '
Read our experiences as named executors and trustees! Unfortunately, it would seem from the response that our experience is not an isolated case.
