Game Over. Continue? – Mad Cave Studios Announces New OGN, Attaboy

“There’s a video game from when I was a kid that no one else seems to remember.”

Boy robots. Fallen fathers. Evil motherboards. Do we ever stop playing the games we played as children? Coming in May 2024 is the newest original graphic novel from Mad Cave Studios, ATTABOY, written and illustrated by cartoonist Tony McMillen (Serious Creatures, Lumen).
A comic disguised as a video game instructional booklet, the tale of ATTABOY follows our “byte”-sized hero as he avenges the destruction of his father and creator, Dr. Atta, in a colorful and personal allegory of grief.

“Comics are a lonely pursuit in a lot of ways. Especially self-publishing comics,” said Tony McMillen. “After posting Attaboy on Kickstarter 4 years ago, I’m tremendously happy that the book has found a new home with Mad Cave Studios. Having a group of savvy people who are as excited as I am about this makes me confident that the large audience we both feel is waiting for a book like this will sit up and take notice…and that makes my toes tap!”
