“Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 75 “Montreal in a Panic”

“Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 74 “Jiber Causes Havoc at McSwill University”
Jiber ordered a quick retreat from Expo 67 and they landed on a green field surrounded by majestic buildings. A sign nearby said “McSwill University”. Soon students arrived for their morning classes but initially they showed little interest in the craft as the students in the Faculty of Engineering were always building strange contraptions, whenContinue reading ““Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 74 “Jiber Causes Havoc at McSwill University””
“Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 73 “Panic and Terror at Expo 67”
Lucien Loup awoke to the shrill bells of his Bestinghouse alarm in his suburban St. Laurent duplex in Montreal.

“Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 71 “Is Eno Ergot a Mutant?”
At Le Havre the SS Zorollia was granted with the same curiosity and fanfare that it had received in New York City.
