The Manhattan Projects: Volume 1
The Manhattan Projects: Volume 1

Atomic science meets bizarre secret endeavors.

If you're into alternate history with a sci-fi twist, "The Manhattan Projects" offers a compelling take on what might have been happening behind the scenes of a well-known historical event. Hickman crafts a story that's as mind-bending as it is entertaining, filled with strange inventions and even stranger happenings that diverge sharply from the textbooks. This graphic novel is a good read for those who appreciate a blend of history, science, and speculative oddities.

  • Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards Nominee for Best Continuing Series (2013)
