History[]
In 1954, Byron Lewis attended the World Science Fiction Convention in Cleveland with a group of screenwriters, novelists, and comic book artists allegedly linked to socialist clubs. Lewis was photographed at the event and the New Frontiersman published an article along with the photos criticizing Lewis' alleged ties to socialism.
In 1972, Max Shea took up work as an art therapist at a VA hospital in Cleveland. While facilitating an art therapy program for Vietnam War veterans suffering from PTSD, Shea was struck by their testimonials — their awe of serving under the godlike Doctor Manhattan; their guilt of committing atrocities with the Comedian; their rationalizations about going from liberators saving a people from communism to conquerors seizing a country for capitalism. Their poignant stories of shattered worldview and guilty conscience inspired Shea to write Fogdancing, which became a groundbreaking literary classic.
In 1988, an industrial rock band known as the Nine Inch Nails is established.
