About The Book

The black and white anthology MEGATON was at the forefront of the independent comics revolution, and from 1981 to 1987 publisher and writer GARY CARLSON helped rewrite comics history!

ERIK LARSEN’s SAVAGE DRAGON and ROB LIEFELD’s YOUNGBLOOD both debuted in MEGATON, prompting LIEFELD to later dub CARLSON “the Grandfather of Image Comics,” and the series was notable for launching the career of a veritable who’s who of artists.

Now, celebrating MEGATON’s 40th anniversary, the original eight issues are collected for the first time ever – in their entirety, in chronological order, and in glorious black and white, scanned from the original art and film negatives used to publish the original comics!

Collects MEGATON #1-8 plus early ads for the series, unpublished art, preliminary character designs, commentary by CARLSON and more!
