“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? The newest original graphic novel from Mad Cave Studios, ATTABOY, written and illustrated by cartoonist Tony McMillen (Serious Creatures, Lumen), is now available at your favorite comic shop and bookstore.
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.

Writer/Artist, Tony McMillen (He/Him)
Tony McMillen makes comic books as well as some books without pictures too.
Even though those usually also contain a few pictures.
He can’t help himself.
Besides Attaboy, he’s the creator of the sci-fi fantasy comic Lumen and Serious Creatures; his comic series about a teenage special fx artist working in Hollywood through the 70s, 80s and 90s. His prose novels include the heavy metal horror novel An Augmented Fourth published by Word Horde, and folk rock dystopian epic The Bleeding Tree Trilogy.
He thinks Alien is a better xenomorph movie but Aliens is a better Ripley movie.
His go-to karaoke song is “On the Dark Side” by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.
We had the chance to get up close and personal with Tony, getting to know more about the inspiration behind Attaboy and his creative process. Check out our Inside the Cave interview here!
ATTABOY is now available on the official Mad Cave Studios website, and can be found at your favorite bookstore, local comic shop, and digital comic reader!
