Mad Cave Studios Announces ‘Gatchaman: Only One Earth’

Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with Tatsunoko Production, has announced the latest upcoming Gatchaman series, Gatchaman: Only One Earth.

Dive into an exciting comic inspired by the legendary Japanese anime, brought to life with a script by Tommy Lee Edwards and artwork by animator and illustrator Nuno Plati. Series writer Edwards pulls double duty as artist on Cover A, while Plati provides the variant Cover B and Zach Howard illustrates a special Cover C retailer incentive variant.

Berg Katse is ravaging the country of Atrena for rare mythical elements that create a psychic link between Galactor pilots and their weaponized mechs. As Joe and Ken’s friendship is pushed to the limit during a mission to save Atrena’s princess, the Science Ninja Team uncovers an ancient temple that may hold the key to defeating Galactor once and for all. 

“Our upcoming Gatchaman: Only One Earth mini-series gives Nuno and me the chance to expand upon some of what I’ve been writing in the Gatchaman one-shots,” said Edwards. “In this, we pay homage to the kinds of character-driven adventures and eco-friendly themes that were important to the franchise’s original creator, Tatsuo Yoshida.” 

“It’s amazing to be able to be a tiny part in the history of these legendary characters, and to have someone like Tommy by my side leading the way, whose talent and experience is among the best of the best, is just the icing on a very special cake,” added Plati. “Special thank you to our editor, Chas! Pangburn, for being the best at what he does, and to Mike Marts for welcoming me into the Mad Cave family!”

Gatchaman: Only One Earth #1 soars into action on February 5th, 2025, and is now available for preorder.
