Atomic Robo
« on: May 14, 2009, 09:46:16 AM »
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

Still, a chap ought to look smart in front of the men, don't you think?

Nice artwork
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

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?

A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/
