Deathlands #56
Sunchild
PERMANENT ENTROPY
After an atomic blast hurled the world into an uncertain future, the past still reaches out in hope... and damnation. In a kill-or-die world, one steadfast group of survivors possesses superior fighting skills and sense of fair play that have made them living legends. In their struggle to seek a better way of life, they are unraveling the powerful secrets of the hell on earth called Deathlands.
PORTAL TO HELL
A pre-dark legacy of shattering promise lies beneath the ruins of nuke-ravaged Seattle. Ryan Cawdor and his warrior companions come face-to-face with the ancestors of a secret society whose members were convinced that paradise awaited at the center of the earth. This cult is inexorably tied to a conspiracy of twentieth-century scientists devoted to fulfilling a vision of genetic manipulation. In this labyrinthine ville, carved from the subterranean passages of a doomed past, some of the descendants of the Illuminated Ones are pursuing the dream of their legacy - while others are dedicated to its nightmare.
Even in the Deathlands, twisted human beliefs endure...

Grateful Story, tinged with humor
Interesting premise of having two groups, along with a shadowy third to enrich the plot line. Of course the sly reference to the Grateful Dead, in a post apocalyptic world was notable. Nothing like Jerry Garcia to save the day, letting the group Keep On “Truckin”
