Trying to decide the first graphic novel ever is nigh impossible, but thankfully, trying to figure out the first comic book made on a computer is much easier: Mike Saenz’s Shatter! Well, sort of . . .

Mike & Greg take a trip to the primordial past of digital comics to check out three early examples of comics created on the keyboard rather than artboard:

  • 1985’s Shatter
  • 1988’s Iron Man: Crash (Saenz’s followup comic)
  • 1990’s Batman: Digital Justice by Pepe Moreno & Doug Murray

What went right? What went wrong? What the hell is a “mouse”? And what was the REAL first digital comic? All that and more on today’s episode!

Greg Matiasevich has read enough author bios that he should be better at coming up with one for himself, yet surprisingly isn't. However, the years of comic reading his parents said would never pay off obviously have, so we'll cut him some slack on that. He lives in Baltimore, co-hosts (with Mike Romeo) the Robots From Tomorrow podcast, writes Multiversity's monthly Shelf Bound column dedicated to comics binding, and can be followed on Twitter at @GregMatiasevich.
