Just to bring to your attention this comic title, which recounts the adventures of a sentient robot created by Nikola Tesla:-

The first issue of the third series shipped this month, Atomic Robo: Shadow From Beyond Time, and features Charles Fort and H P Lovecraft. Witty and exciting, with lovely clean cartoony art, graphic novel collections of the previous two series are available.
This character is a recent discovery for me, and I love him already, :D

Robo is indeed awesome, having everything you could ever want from a comic - snappy dialogue, robots, brains in jars, evil pyramids... (although alas, my comics haven't arrived yet this month...) - thinking of which, does anyone have a first print of issue 6? It's the only one I'm missing :-[
and also, awesome for gaming, as someone else found through google seems to think:

(I originally planned to do a Darkson Designs OSS agent conversion for Robo, but seeing this makes me think it might be abetter way to go... plus the fact that I've got a couple of Lobster Johnson clix lying around...)

Coincidentally, I just had both collections delivered form Amazon. Well worth it. It will be compared with Hellboy, but that doesn't really do it justice, its a very different animal. Glad to see there's a third series, I must look out for it.
And that Stephen Hawking - what a little tyke! lol

Are those books are of the European style (like Tintin or Astérix) or are they Us Comics Book (magazine like) production?
