These other stories by other artists in the Atmoic Robo universe were all fun--some a few pages, some longer, some without Robo's appearance at all. Those might have been the most interesting of all, with the world going on without revolving around Robo. Seeing another look at Sparrow, the most dangerous British spy, go up against the Germans with her partner was awesome. There was a sad look at comics in the 90's, when everything was a collector's item, resulting in nothing for Robo to read. Tesla vs. The War Zeppelin was beautiful in artwork. My favorite as usual was the ridiculous appearance of Dr. Dinosaur! He had me fooled. A fun read!

This Atomic Robo collection is SO GOOD. The character Atomic Robo himself has a satirical personality much like Spiderman. This volume made for a great introduction to the character since I accidentally mistook it for the first volume of the main story.
I’ve noticed that all the emotional, action-packed, creative robot stories that robot fans have been looking for in cinema have been strongly circulating under the radar in distribution through independent makers and comic book writers. This is such a case. I found this pleasant surprise in my local comic book store and I don’t believe that something I fall in love with at first sight is “coincidental”. It found me first.
