"AiT/Planet Lar, the independent comics publisher behind such acclaimed comics works as Demo and Astronauts in Trouble, is republishing Shatter, a legendary sci-fi noir graphic novel from the 1980s created by Peter Gillis and Michael Saenz. Originally published by First Comics in 1985, the book is notable for being the first graphic novel with art entirely created by computer. Saenz pioneered an expansion of the tools artists could use to create stories—the art credits even give thanks to Apple Computers. The unique look of Shatter reflects the dark future it depicts. "

"The first ever digitally created comic book, Shatter's beautiful dot-matrix art was drawn on a first-generation Macintosh which, for you tech junkies out there, boasted a mere 128 KB of RAM. Long before wacom tablets were invented Saenz' work was the painstaking result of the click-by-agonizing-click of the mouse. And it was through Shatter's innovations in technique and software that forever changed the way comic creators, publishers, and readers looked at how comics could be made. Prophetic in approach and subject matter alike, Shatter forecasted a world where body modification... Utterly controversial, beyond innovative, and without a doubt one of the most prescient and downright sexy comics of the 1980's, this long-lost gem wraps itself in a sheep's clothing of Blade Runner style trappings to deliver a stealthy mainline syringe full of the RNA of genius."
