Synopsis: “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.
Meet the Creator!
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!

“No repeat of a playthrough is ever the same, and sometimes what you get out of it might not be what you want. But the journey to that destination is always worth it. So this gets a full 10/10 for its artistic vision tied to very human engagements.” -Jake Palermo, Gutternaut
