Hi there,
Trying to collect all the Absolute titles. Confused about the Annual. Is is a 1 shot story or a collected edition similar to the volumes?
It (alongside Absolute Evil) is not available to purchase paperback or hardcover on Amazon.

The 1963 Invasion of Wehlen proved itself a paradigm shift in 20th century politics. In only 29 days the Weznek military was overwhelmed by a well cordinated Intermerkopum Coalition army. Derdian missiles, Morellan tanks, Palesian jets and Rizian troops dismantled the Wesnek fighting force with ruthless efficiency, with entire divisions surrendering before shots were even fired. Soon the battle took to the streets of Wraclawitz, where the Dictator Smolak was captured and arrested by Coalition forces.
Rumburg, still struggling with its near complete economic collapse, took the opportunity to scramble a rapid invasion of northern Wehlen, getting so far as the Bol River before being met by Coalition troops. Bludish revolutionaries, meanwhile, seized Wizen and proclaimed the free and independent Bludish republic.
The situation remains tense as the 3 states have as of yet failed to recognize one another, and the threat of war looms high. Intermerkopum is prepared to defend occupied Wehlen, but not to allow an offensive war. Rumburg, meanwhile will defend its southern puppet, but is overextended as it is. Finally Sordland so far has denied supplying Bludia with weaponry, but the allegations are not going away.
Matters are complicated by the resource allocation. The Weznek state is sparsely populated, but agriculturally rich, while about 70% of the Weznek oil is believed to be concentrated in territory claimed by Bludia.
I feel like we get a broad sense of some of them. 1920s, French Revolution, 1980s, but not for all.
Its interesting because frequently in vampire stories their age is one of the first things to be brought up but unless I missed smt we haven't really seen a lot about their past experiences over the years, or even got a number for their age.
