Preoccupied with 1985

Our friend James Sime from Isotope Comics wrote to tell us that he has posted a 30-page preview of AiT/PlanetLar's collection of the first-ever digital comic, Shatter.

Prophetic in approach and subject matter alike, Shatter forecasted a world where body modification, privatized law enforcement, corporate ownership of cities, electrowave club culture, and stem cell research were the norm. And even predicted the coming of the disastrous New Coke before anyone had even thought of such a thing.



Shatter was created by Peter B. Gillis and Mike Saenz, and was published by First Comics back in 1985. Learn more about the book and how it was made at Wikipedia. The book is due this July from AiT/PlanetLar.
