[4] Floyd Farland's abstract art style saw it spotlighted along with the similarly minimalist Larry Marder's Tales of the Beanworld and Matt Feazell's cynicalman in an Eclipse advertising campaign titled 'The Changing Face of American Comics'.

Unnerved, he flees, while the government initiates a mission called 'Find and Destroy Floyd Farland' - which is largely inept due to ongoing sabotage by the Underground.

Farland changes his identity to Frank Masterson and gets a job delivering pizza, but his new name is the same as another rebel and his attempts to be taken back in by the government are interpreted as further evidence he is a powerful 'Thought-Warrior'.

Farland manages to get himself and a cell of rebels imprisoned a second time, and despite beatings from both his fellow inmates and the guards he remains upbeat and confident the system will clear up the confusion.

He is eventually able to get hold of a Pastmaster history altering device, but instead of using it to free everyone instead restores his happy life as a drone-like Population Engineer, bring the story around to the beginning once again.

[2] He has also called it "Blade Runner/1984 stuff from high school"[10] and "painfully bad"[11] As Eclipse went out of business in 1994, Floyd Farland has been out of print since - having the side-effect of making the graphic novel expensive on the secondary market.
