The great thing is, there's so much you guys can choose from. History is just such a great well of information that you can draw from. For example, the Soviets had invested millions of dollars during the 1980s to research psychic ability. It never came to anything, but it's a great backdrop for a story. Sorry to blather on--I'm a history major :) I love how you guys use history in the comics-highlighting not just the in-the-moment feel wars have, where the end result usually isn’t known ahead of time, but also illuminating the “fringe” events in history.
