Megatokyo 1
From Wikitokyo, the unofficial Megatokyo wiki
Megatokyo 1 is the title of the book including all strips from Chapter 0. It was published by Dark Horse Comics in March 2004. It is available at many comic shops, online retailers, and directly from MegaGear.
There is also a German version published in October 2004 by Eidalon, a Polish version by Mandragora in July 2004, and an Italian version by Free Books in September 2005. After a preview in the issue #7 of the Faust magazine in 2008[1], a Japanese edition in the Kodansha Box publishing line was released in May 2009[2]. A French edition was also planned.
Megatokyo: Chapter Zero, a book previously published and containing the same chapter, is no longer available.
