Side Mission: Golden Age Nostalgia

• Prerequisites: None
• Rewards: $2,000
• Details: Nadine wants to track down her grandfather’s collection of comic books.

MISSION Commencement (1)

Journey to the Dodd residence, located in the hilly and wooded area south of the orchards. Find Nadine Abercrombie in the junk-filled grounds just off the main dirt road. She explains that she’s hoping you’ll find all 12 of her grandpa’s comics so she can sell them. They’re scattered throughout Hope County.

MISSION Commencement (2)

Alternatively, you can stumble across any of the 12 comics scattered around Hope County, collect them all, and then visit Nadine; this mission begins when you grab your first comic or speak with Nadine.

FIND All the Comic Books (12)

Your world map (and this guide’s Atlas) chapter now features a new icon—comic book. This appears when you’re close to finding a comic book at a particular location. All are specific (there are no random comics), and there are three types: Vietnam, Mars, and Zombie (pictured). We detail where you can find all of them. Collect them in any order you like.

You can also purchase a map showing the location of all these items at a shop.

COMIC BOOKS: Holland Valley (3)

#1: Boyd Residence (Vietnam Comic)

The nearest comic to Nadine is at the Boyd residence northwest and across the dirt road from the Dodd residence.

Find it on the bed, inside the cabin.

#2: Parker Laboratories (Mars Comic)

Search out the eccentric inventor Larry Parker at his laboratory west of Fall’s End.

Enter the main mobile home structure in his compound, and find the comic on a desk inside.

#3: Bradbury Farm (Mars Comic)

You must obtain the last comic in Holland Valley via some careful maneuvering in the main barn of Bradbury Farm, west of the crop circle.

Climb up the hay and crates to the upper hayloft, where there’s a small distillery and a comic on an adjacent mattress.

COMIC BOOKS: Whitetail Mountains (3)

#4: Jefferson Lookout Tower (Zombie Comic)

On the high mountains on the western side of this region is a cult-acquired lookout tower, complete with a helipad (spot this from the air).

Find the comic inside the blood- and corpse-daubed structure, on a small table with some cash.

#5: Elliot Residence (Zombie Comic)

Reasonably close to the Moccasin River (east side) and the cult-acquired red metal bridge is a home that has witnessed a ferocious firefight. Expect light to medium cult resistance here.

Scale the roof to the smashed window (as shown in the previous picture) and secure the comic from the bedroom. Stick around to check for a Vietnam Lighter in a bunker below the woodshed.

#6: McNeil Residence (Vietnam Comic)

Now a cult post where caged animals are stored, this cabin is east of the F.A.N.G. Center, along the road and railroad tracks.

After dealing with a few cultists, smash the window with planks across it; this is the only way into the cabin. Grab the comic from the bathroom.

COMIC BOOKS: Henbane River (6)

#7: Peaches Taxidermy (Zombie Comic)

A major location on your world map, this is easy to find. Ignore Ms. Mable, and instead begin a sweep of the smaller wood cabin (not the main office with the green roof).

The Zombie comic is on the coffee table near the bowl of fruit.

#8: Camp Cougars (Mars Comic)

Journey east from Peaches Taxidermy, and you stumble into a campground in the wooded mountainous area north of the main road.

The comic book is outside one of the orange and white tents.

#9: McClean Residence (Vietnam Comic)

This picturesque cabin has been recently raided by cultists. It’s just east of the Henbane River bridge leading to the orchards in Holland Valley.

Enter the open bunker in the garden, and locate the comic in the bathroom at the far end of the underground area.

#10: Chan Residence (Vietnam Comic)

This windswept cabin is on a steep slope near a winding dirt road just south of Angel’s Peak.

Enter the premises, and check the bed for the comic.

#11: Boshaw Manor (Mars Comic)

Between the major locations of Moonflower Trailer Park and Hope County Jail is a trailer nestled on the slopes above (north of) the road and river.

Check the bedroom inside the trailer for the comic, on a bedside cabinet.

#12: O’Hara’s Haunted House (Zombie Comic)

In the southwestern corner of this region, close to the Henbane River Rail Bridge and Holland Valley, is a spooky haunted barn. Ignore that and investigate the house instead.

The comic is inside an attic crawl space on a mattress. Enter it from the exterior scaffold platform.

RETURN the Comics Collection to Nadine (12)

Only after you gather all 12 comic books, head to the Dodd residence and conclude this mission with a cash infusion, courtesy of a thankful Nadine.

The maps in the Atlas chapter of this guide also catalogs all the locations for the comics.
