At the height of World War II, the world’s most ingenious minds began a race to create a super-weapon capable of ending the war with the push of a button. One of those projects gave us the atom bomb…and another produced the world’s first supercomputer: ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer).
Three days after The Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, another was dropped on Nagasaki – but it wasn’t ordered by President Truman!
The first issue of ENIAC – the tale of an alternate history where an AI was created in 1945, by Matt Kindt and Doug Braithwaite – will be in select comics shops on May 6th.
Bad Idea is a genuinely unique new comics publisher with what could be best described as a radical new approach to creating and marketing comic books.
