Frank Miller's ROBOCOP #1
Retail Price: $3.50 US
Cover: Frank Miller
Story: Frank Miller
Art: Juan Jose Ryp
Readership: Mature Readers
Format: Full color, 32 pages, monthly 1 of 9

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: At long last, Frank Miller's never before seen full Robocop epic finally sees the light of day! Robocop was one of the truly great bits of movie and pop culture magic from the 80's, and the cult of Robocop continues strong to this day. In full-on action, the Robocop story is told as Frank Miller always intended, composed straight from the master's original writings and scripts! The vast majority of Miller's insane ideas, vicious black humor, and robotic mayhem never made it to the screen, but every last bit is finally unleashed in this series! With sequential adaptation from Steven Grant and art by superstar Juan Jose Ryp (hot off Alan Moore's Another Suburban Romance) , the series will feature covers by Frank Miller, who is also personally supervising the creation of the entire project. It's guaranteed to be pure Miller insanity and one of the biggest books of the year!
