Don Simpson returns with old and new Megaton Man
IT STARTED OUT IN 1984 AS A superhero satire, but you could be forgiven for thinking that Don Simpson takes Megaton Man a lot more seriously nowadays. Having previously relied on readers' familiarity with the genre's well-worn tropes, he's since gone back and filled in the details of the carefully constructed world of Megatropolis.
Now, after Simpson wrote a short story for the recent Legends Of Indie Comics: Words Only collection, two huge tomes of old and new material are set for release: the 604-page The Complete Megaton Man Universe Volume 1: The 1980s and Megaton Man: Multimensions, featuring contributions from 60 different writers and artists.
This story is from the October 2025 edition of SFX UK.

ALTERED STATES
Essentially Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde if it'd been written by Carlos Castenada, Ken Russell's characteristically unrestrained take on a script by Network's Paddy Chayefsky is a bracing mix of acid trip visuals and hoary old tropes.
