The Illustrated Biography of Lord Grimm (short story): Why are the Biological Sciences Making Advanc

The Illustrated Biography of Lord Grimm portrays life in a struggling country under the ruler ship of the never seen Lord Grimm. The country is like a comic book version of the old Soviet Eastern Block where workers toil away on making giant mecha robots to defend against superheroes who periodically fly in from the West. The twist is that the country is more like the Island of Doctor Moreau, where many residents have been biologically modified. They would do better to focus on biological defenses or creating their own superheroes than on trying to manufacture clunky robots.
