Working on fanfic.

So this guy was in charge of New York City circa 1977? Sheeeeeesh. Seems like he had a shit-tastic enough term in real life and Alan Moore piles a police strike on him. @_@ Poor bastard.

I realize you're talking about Watchmen, but if you're interested in the period, check out the miniseries The Bronx is Burning starring John Turturro and Oliver Platt. Granted, it's mostly about the Yankees winning the World Series that year, but the blackout/Son of Sam/citywide dysfunction is portrayed with verve.

Thanks for the rec. I'll keep that in mind.
