By Brian Fies

Book Overview

From Brian Fies, the multi-award-winning, acclaimed graphic novelist of Mom's Cancer, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, and A Fire Story, comes a classic comic book adventure for all ages--a fun and joyful escape.

Decades after being imprisoned for threatening his city with an army of giant robots, an elderly scientist reenters society, only to discover he needs help navigating life in the 21st century. Experiencing real kindness and friendship for the first time, his new relationships challenge the inventor's single-minded devotion for vengeance--just as his plans threaten to spiral out of his control.

The Last Mechanical Monster by Brian Fies is a story about ambition, creativity, mortality, friendship, and legacy. But it is also a story about how we want to be remembered, and what we leave behind.
