About the series
Shatter (1985–1988) from First Comics was a landmark series in comics history as the first commercially published comic book created entirely with computer-generated art. Written primarily by Rick Oliver, Mark Pierce, and Mike Saenz, with Saenz and Pierce also providing the pioneering digital artwork, the series explored a gritty cyberpunk future where a data thief navigates a world of corporate espionage and digital intrigue. Its groundbreaking use of early Macintosh technology to produce the art made it a technical and aesthetic milestone, demonstrating the potential of computers as a tool for sequential storytelling.
