A masterful blend of action and emotional depth.
Description
Boy robots. Fallen fathers. Evil motherboards.
Do we ever stop playing the games we played as children?
"There's a video game from when I was a kid that no one else seems to remember."
Attaboy is an action-adventure comic disguised as an illustrated instructional booklet for a video game. The "byte"-sized hero is forced to avenge the destruction of his father and creator, Dr. Atta, by the sinister rebellious mechazoid Motherboard. However, the turn of each page unravels a much deeper story of pixelated thoughts, real world references, and heartbreaking truths.
Reviews
You can spot a Tony McMillen comic a mile away—raw, vibrant, one cannot look away. Now here comes Attaboy, sprung from the inky forehead of Zeus, fully realized and ready to do some damage.
Tony McMillen is a truly inspiring artist for me. The immediacy, energy, and vitality in his drawings are unmatched and the amount and quality of ideas that come with his stories always brings me joy.
