* ''[[PunkPunk Punk Wars]]'' is set in a nuclear post-apocalypse future where there are factions of {{Steampunk}}, DieselPunk, AtomPunk and [[TheApunkalypse so-called "Steel Punk"]] duking it out with each other. While each faction is distinctly their genre's technology and aesthetics, the world setting pretty much leans itself towards AtomPunk.

Notably, "Judgement Day", a story that originally ran in ''Weird Fantasy'', was one of the first scifi instances of FantasticRacism, and ended with a rather damning - and, at the time, controversial - commentary on contemporary race relations in America.
