Atomic Robo Returns In Crowdfunding Effort Already With 160% Over Campaign Goal With A Few Days Left!

Details on the campaign are below.

      Atomic Robo and the Dawn of a New Era HARDCOVER EDITION!

      The hardcover collected edition of the hit comic book series ATOMIC ROBO AND THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA! Also a handsome tote bag.

      We’re Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener and we’re the creators of Atomic Robo, an online comic about the adventures of a robot who is also a scientist. Each volume is a self-contained story or collection of stories about the incredible life of Atomic Robo.

      (there’s also a spin-off series Real Science Adventures, check it out)

      We’ve been making fancy hardcover editions of Atomic Robo with help from you and Kickstarter since 2014. Today we’d like to Kickstart a fancy hardcover edition of our newest book, Atomic Robo and the Dawn of a New Era written by Brian, drawn by Scott, colored by Shan, lettered by Jeff, edited by Lee, and featuring a CYOA introduction by the one and only Seanan.

      Atomic Robo was created by Nikola Tesla way back in the ‘20s. Since then Robo’s tussled with air pirates, mad scientists, a dinosaur who is also a mad scientist, vampires, and at one point cowboys.

      Atomic Robo and the Dawn of a New Era is the latest chapter in Robo’s exciting life. Now he’s…sort of a university administrator? But for a sci-fi action school to train the next next generation of ACTION SCIENTISTS starting with Margot, Olivia, and Ben.

      Meanwhile Robo’s building a secret robot son in the basement using the old intelligence core from the Advanced Learning Algorithm Network that nearly killed all life on Earth, and framed Atomic Robo for it, and got Tesladyne shut down by the secret fascist science police, which indirectly threatened all life on Earth (again), and got a bunch of his comrades probably killed and definitely hunted as terrorists for a few years.

      But, y’know, that’s why it’s a secret and I’m sure it won’t blow up in his face.
      And let’s not forget about faithful ol’ Bernard. He’s taking a break from all the crazy action science to do some old-fashioned geology and…

      …and, y’know, he’s fine.

      We’re going to make a fancy hardcover edition of Atomic Robo and the Dawn of a New Era. It’ll look like…

      Speaking of the ol’ Doc, there’s a companion piece to this campaign. Doctor Dinosaur’s highly official tote bag! Check it out.

      And if that’s not enough we’ve also got the usual assortment of original art, print sets, and more!
