The Complete Megaton Man Universe Volume One The 1980s
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.
