Fantagraphics gives MegaTon Man the Omnibus treatment for his 40th Anniversary!

It’s not every day a comics character turns 40, and remains as relevant as ever. Well, yesterday was a special day as Megaton Man: The Complete Megaton Man Universe Volume One: The 1980s launched and fully funded a crowdfunding campaign in 4 hours on the Zoop platform. In partnership with Fantagraphics, the legendary Don Simpson is bringing his creation to this oversized hardcover omnibus offering over 600 pages of classic Megaton Man goodness.

Don Simpson’s classic superhero parody and worldbuilding multi-character epic, is collected for the first time in an omnibus volume almost as bulging as The Man Of Molecules’ own muscles. All issues, sequels, spin-offs, one-shots and short stories from 1983 to 1990 are collected here, along with a plethora of additional art, unseen sequences, various rarities, and an extensive afterword by Simpson.

Introduction by Bill Morrison (The Simpsons, Bongo Comics) and foreword by Chris Ecker (Big Bang, Now Comics).

Quite simply, it’s the funniest comic strip you never read.

In addition to the book, rewards and add-ons include signatures, sketches, original art, and more. If you’re a fan of comics, and comics history, there are going to be some can’t miss items that won’t be found anywhere else.

Zoop CEO, Jordan Plosky shares “As a fan of Don’s work and creations for decades, it is truly humbling to be working with him on this campaign.  Megaton Man is a vital part of my introduction to so many other characters and creators. Its importance to modern comics cannot be overstated.”
