Atomic Robo

Oh man. I was reading Greg Craven's Hubris webcomic when the banner ad came up for Atomic Robo. Three days later, I surfaced for air after having finished wading through the archives. The artwork on the first half of the series is killer. The writing all the way through is just down-right hilarious, and I love everything about Robo. The later artwork isn't bad, either, it's just in a very different style. So, for anyone unfamiliar with it, (I know, I am very late to the party) what is Atomic Robo? Think of Doc Savage meets Buckaroo Banzai, but with more science guns and no guitars. Very, very funny stuff in a pulpy way.


The website has links to the cover pages of the first 11 volumes, but not to volume 12, and not to the individual chapters, so I'm putting them here if you want them. Read this comic. Buy this comic. And Behold the superior dinosaur science of Lord Raptor!
