==Story== Eat-Man'' is a series of short, episodic stories about an "explorer" (a type of mercenary) named Bolt Crank who has the ability to eat virtually anything and then, at will, reproduce from his body the objects he's consumed. Eat-Mans world is a mix of high-tech futurist cyberpunk and fairy tale. The episodes take place in various worlds and in undefined times.
