Scud: Tales from the Vending Machine

    (Fireman, 1998)
™ and ©1998 Rob Schrab

Tales from the Vending Machine is a spinoff from the cult hit Scud: The Disposable Assassin. The Scuds are robot assassins sold through any vending machine. Pop in a few dollars, and the highly intelligent robots will do your bidding, or wipe out the target of your choice. Then, when it’s all over, they simply self-destruct. No muss, no fuss.

Whereas the first Scud series focused around a particular Scud which balked at self-destructing, Tales from the Vending Machine uses various Scud robots as catalysts to push the story along, adding in their trademark humor, efficiency, and hyperviolence in the process.
