SHATTER RETURNS @ AiT/PLANETLAR – NEWSARAMA

I had almost forgotten about this comic book from the ’80’s called Shatter until I read this article this morning–the book’s beign reprinted apparently.

I loved the book when I was a teen-ager and am tempted to pick this up. I’m curious, though, to see if it holds up some 20 years later. It was entirely drawn (with a mouse) on old MacPaint and MacDraw programs–the first computer drawn comic ever. Even at the time these came out I recognized it as pretty shemelessly stealing a lot of its schtick from Blade Runner. On the other hand, so did pretty much everything else SF-wise at the time–Neuromancer (William Gibson denies the connection curiously), Akira, etc.
