The toadular trio participate in The Grand Fistival, a battle royale which gathered the strongest fighters in the universe. But a secret plot looms in the sewers of the celebration. Will the Toads prevail, or will their bond be tested by an out-of-this-world brawl?

Written by the illustrious Simon Furman, acclaimed for his work on Marvel’s Transformers, as he extends the Battletoads’ saga for their fiercest battle yet. Collaborating with Furman, Andres Genolet, known for Marvel’s Star Wars and The Sensational She-Hulk, lends dynamic visuals. The fantastic illustrations are enhanced by comics colorist Jordi Escuin Llorach, utilizing vibrant hues to provide a visually stunning experience across chaotic brawls.

Uncover the rich stinkin’ history of Battletoads, a videogame franchise by Rare, which has seen the Toady trio battle valiantly against intergalactic evil. Whether you are a longtime Battletoads follower or newcomer to the series, The Lost Adventure marks one of the franchise’s greatest spectacles.
British comic book writer Simon Furman created his most prominent works after taking over as the writer of the Marvel US Transformers comic. While in the esteemed position, he created an origin story for the Transformers that focused on a conflict between Primus and Unicorn. It was that same story that was used for the hugely successful Transformers movie. Furman has also written a Doctor Who audio adventure for Big Finish, and he had a hand in various stories starring Judge Dredd, among countless other titles. He has now continued the adventures of the Battletoads, which began in 1991 and further their legendary battle in the videogames.

Andres Genolet has collaborated with Marvel Comics on numerous occasions, credited on the likes of Runaways and Star Wars. Currently, he is working on the ongoing The Sensational She-Hulk.

Comics colorist Jordi Escuin Llorach has previously worked for Titan Comics on Dan Dare, and has titles such as Cain and Space Job, that have been published by Dark Horse Comics.
