Megatokyo

Fred Gallagher’s Megatokyo (2004–present, Dark Horse) follows two American gamers stranded in a surreal, anime-influenced Tokyo, blending slice-of-life comedy with video game and otaku culture. Originally a webcomic, this three-issue print run collects the early chapters of Gallagher’s long-running series, establishing his signature mix of self-deprecating humor, romantic subplots, and affectionate parody of Japanese media. It’s a foundational work of early 2000s web-to-print crossover, capturing the era’s geek zeitgeist with Gallagher’s distinctive art and storytelling.
