Creaza lanserte i dag det nye store universet “Etterkrigstiden”.

Utfordringer mellom Øst og Vest og den kalde krigen er politiske elementer man kan jobbe med. I tillegg til dette finnes det en rekke karakterer, figurer og bakgrunner fra de fire 10-årene. Berlinmuren finnes for eksempel i utgaver fra både 50, 60, 70 og 80-tallet.
