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.
Praise for ATTABOY
“A masterful blend of action and emotional depth.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“ATTABOY is a special book. Video games, family dysfunction, identity, and unreliable memories combine for a heartfelt story set in a world that is part gorgeous sci-fi, part nostalgia, and full of graphic wonder. McMillen tells a story unlike anything else I’ve read (or seen). It’s a tremendous use of the comics medium by a cartoonist that seems to crackle with creative energy. Attaboy is a gift to comic fans. Brilliant and beautiful.“
—Jim Rugg (Hulk: Grand Design, The Plain Janes)
“Delving into the long established but largely under-explored connection between comic book narrative (particularly the onetime dominant superhero sub genre) and video games, ATTABOY dazzles with an unrelenting hypnotic rhythm and punk rawk visuals. Looking forward to ATTABOY 2!“
—Tom Scioli (I Am Stan: A Graphic Biography of the Legendary Stan Lee)
