6: High Noon - 2000AD prog 797

Paraphrased from ‘Seizing the Fire’ by Dr Michael Peyne (Unpublished): Peyne has continued to grow younger every day - he estimates that he’s now in his early 40s. Rather then consider what will eventually happen to him, he continues his journal. Although every person in the world saw visions of apocalyptic events, the ‘war’ that ended the world took place in one room. These hallucinations were psychic fallout of the mind-battle between St John and Horus. Archie, bored by the psychic fighting, hit Spook with a sofa and gave Lux a punch in the back of the neck. He went to pull off Ruby’s head, but she blasted him with her voltage powers and his own head flew off!
