A note inside the front cover of the first issue reads, "This comic began as a whimsical idea a year ago - but as the idea caught fire it has come together amazingly fast. All of the work in this issue has been inspired by - or base on - anarchist ideas and history. As it becomes increasing clear that the real 'terrorists' are not a few isolated leftists but are the governments and corporations of this world who hold us hostage with their armaments, militaries & intelligence activities, anarchism becomes more & more relevant!"
