The Adventures of Johnny Bunko
(16 May 2008) - Writer Daniel H. Pink took a cue from the East in creating his Johnny Bunko character. While the Japanese comic format, manga, is generally left for children and a fringe group of aficionados in America, it's omnipresent in Japan.

Ashley Wood Popbot
(07 February 2005) - Australian artist Ashley Wood weaves an interesting stream of thought story of sex, technology, and revenge in book 2 of Popbot. His style has the lyrical line quality of Dave McKean's work Cages. The richness of color is also similar to some of McKean's other works, but also has some of the looseness of David Mack's earlier Kabuki work. Although I draw similarities, this...
