Popbot Reader

™ and © 2005 Idea + Design Works LLC & respective creators

A cute little kitty cat. A powerful looking robot. And a beautiful, semi-clothed woman. These are the primary characters that make up the Popbot world, as envisioned by creator Ashley Wood. This title features those characters in stories and pinups by a wide variety of artists, including some of the best in the business. Bruce Timm, Mike Mignola, Chris Bachalo, Alex Garner, and Adam Warren are among the creators to chip in with text and art that give the simple and stark characters their power and depth.

Despite all the talent assembled, Popbot is Wood’s show, and he carries it well by drawing the lead story, “Funlickers,” and inspiring some outstanding work from his collaborators.
