This December, for the first time ever, all three volumes of Atomic Robo will be available. If history is any guide, these things will fly off the shelves, so be sure to pre-order from your local shop or online store. Don’t risk being left in the cold unforgiving darkness of a world without joy!

	Atomic Robo TPB Volume 1 (Second Printing) (OCT091063) In his double-Eisner-nominated debut series (Best Limited Series, Best Coloring), ATOMIC ROBO takes on Nazis, giant ants, clockwork mummies, walking pyramids, Mars, cyborgs and his nemesis, and Baron von Helsingard. Reprints the sold-out first edition of the smash hit with all-new cover. 180 pages, $18.95, 2009-12-09
	Atomic Robo TPB Volume 2 (DEC084219) Eisner-nominated ATOMIC ROBO lands on the front lines of World War II against the science freaks and devastating weird weaponry of Nazi Germany — from invincible walking tanks to atomic-powered weather cannons to the Monster Soldiers of the Third Reich. Can ROBO and THE SPARROW, Britain’s greatest covert operative, complete their mission and turn the tide of the war without killing one another? 152 pages, $19.95, 2009-02-25
	Atomic Robo TPB Volume 3 (OCT091062) It is 1926 when H.P. LOVECRAFT comes calling to warn ATOMIC ROBO of imminent doom. But the SHADOW FROM BEYOND TIME escapes into the future, intersecting with our world through the 20th century. The future and history of the universe hangs in the balance as ATOMIC ROBO teams up with, uh, ATOMIC ROBO in a last ditch effort to protect reality itself. 160 pages, $18.95, 2009-12-09

Chugging Along At The Speed of Science

This has been one of those weeks where nothing in particular has happened, yet I still feel like I accomplished a lot.

On the Atomic Robo front I was thrilled to turn the corner on Issue 3.4. I don’t know why, but with every book page 17 is an important page. For some reason it represents to me the moment where I stop chugging along at a steady pace and I really pour on the steam as I come into the final leg of the race that is drawing a comic book. I’m working on page 20 right now and, while this is not my favorite issues of the mini-series, drawing Carl Sagan doing all sorts of unlikely stuff has been a LOT of fun.

Robo Vol 2 TPB on sale this week!

Last Updated on Monday, 23 February 2009 01:16 Written by Brian! Monday, 23 February 2009 12:00

Yessir, the collected edition of Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War hits comic shops and book stores this Wednesday. Within its covers ye shall finde: all five issues of Vol 2, all five back up stories, and last year’s 16-page FCBD story in case you missed it or, if you’re like me, just prefer to have a whole series in trade ’cause they look so fine on a shelf. You should buy the damn thing!

In Volume 3 news, I finally finished the fourth issue. There were so many damn obstacles to this thing and only a few of them were from the issue itself. But it’s done and it has the Scott and Lydia seals of approval, so who cares! On the bright side, the fifth and final issue of Volume 3 ought to be way easier and I’m way ahead of schedule anyway. I should probably use this buffer to write some more of those back up stories come to think of it…

If you’re a nerd in Florida, you probably already know that Megacon is next weekend. I might be there? Y’know, in a sitting and signing and selling and smiling capacity. More info on that Monday afternoon. I will be there at the Bad Apple Comics booth. I’ll have some trades for Vol 1 and both issues and trades for Vol 2. See you there.

OR ELSE.
