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 ever, his new relationships challenge the inventor' s single-minded devotion for vengeance-just as his plans threaten to spiral out of his control. An homage to the classic cartoons of the 1940s, The Last Mechanical Monster is about ambition, creativity, mortality, friendship, and legacy. How do we want to be remembered? And what will we leave behind? This latest graphic novel from Brian Fies (Mom' s Cancer, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? , and A Fire Story) already has a fanbase and a considerable history of accomplishment. Initially published online as a webcomic, it was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic in both 2014 and 2015. It is also a pivot from Fies' s more serious graphic novels, created at a time when he was between large, demanding projects, and needing to remind himself that comics could and should be fun and provide a joyful escape-something we can all use a little more of these days.
Brian Fies is a writer and cartoonist. His widely acclaimed first graphic novel, Mom' s Cancer, won the Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic in 2005 (the first webcomic to win this award and the inspiration for the category), the 2007 Lulu Blooker Prize for Best Comic, the 2007 Harvey Award for Best New Talent, and the 2007 German Children' s Literature Award. He is also the author of the acclaimed, award-winning graphic novels A Fire Story, which received four starred reviews, and Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? , winner of the American Astronautical Society' s 2009 Eugene M. Emme Award for Best Young Adult Literature. He lives in Santa Rosa, California.
