Synopsis:
A mighty state is experimenting with a new nerve gas that doesn’t kill, but numbs people. By accident some of the gas is dropped on a peaceful country ‘Nebelux’, where suddenly strange mutations appear.
“For Operation X-70 the backgrounds were made with prints from copper etchings by Marc Ampe. Willy Verschelde adapted the character designs by giving them an etching-like appearance”.
