Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Bellegarde juggle multiple characters and locations--in geography and in time--yet personalities and appearances remain distinct. The creative team has also supplied realistic ephemera--personal letters, magazine covers and interviews, World Corp. logos and advertisements--that enrich the experience and fill-in the back story. \u003ci\u003eNowhere Men\u003c\/i\u003e has a lot to absorb, and that's most welcome at a time when some comic books take only minutes to read.'' --\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So said Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange, and Thomas Walker at the dawn of a new age of enlightenment that ushered in a boom in scientific advancement.
