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the series, unpublished art, preliminary character designs,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

The graphic novel from the acclaimed Big Bang Comics mini-series
originally published by Image Comics in 1998. This is the gripping
story by Chris Ecker, Gary Carlson with stark, atmospheric, film
noir-ish artwork by Ben Torres. It's been five long years since the
Knight Watchman prowled the streets of Midway City... Now the city
is under siege, and the streets are deadlier than ever before...
But so is he. On the heels of an assassination attempt that leaves
the Mayor in a coma and the city's hero, GALAHAD, in traction; THE
KNIGHT WATCHMAN ends his retirement and returns to the streets to
keep the city from falling further into chaos. However, chaos is
exactly the plan orchestrated by the Knight Watchman's arch enemy,
PINK FLAMINGO. The master criminal has taken over the city
government by installing Deputy Mayor PRINCETON into office, and
unleashing the dirty cops on his payroll. When a mugger turns up
dead and the evidence points straight at the Knight Watchman,
Midway City's former hero becomes its most wanted criminal. This
edition from Pulp 2.0 features the gritty, urban superhero
storytelling that was a hallmark of the 90's, and reinvented one of
the founding heroes of the Big Bang Universe. This edition is
complete with bonus features making it a must-have for all comics
fans.
