The best way to start your Saturday mornings is with a book series that blends ’80s nostalgia, satire, and monster-movie chaos.

Along with a humorous tale, you’ll find some “cereal-ously” cool artwork. This novel fuses Simko’s rock poster art style, superhero aesthetics, and the vibes of underground alternative comic books. Fans will also receive a heaping bowl of artistic pages, including acrylic-painted cereal box designs, faux newspaper articles, magazine interviews, cartoon screenshots, and more.
If you want more sugary surprises, you’ll love Cereal Savages’ limited-edition hardcover book. Available exclusively at 1984publishing.com, this edition features blue foil-gilded page edges, a pink ribbon marker, and premium production details.

All of these items come in a custom-designed cereal box — perfect for storing on bookshelves and in kitchen cupboards.
