Praise for X-RAY ROBOT

"One of the best cartoonists in all of comics has done it again! X-Ray Robot is another Allred homerun!!"--Brian Michael Bendis

"Michael Allred kicks so much ass I can barely stand it. X-RAY ROBOT is the work of a master!"--Rob Thomas (creator of Veronica Mars)

"50s Populuxe robotics meets 60s psychedelic sci-fi in the latest mash-up from comics' maestro of retro modernity. Make Mine Michael!"--Brendan McCarthy

"Among the many wonderful things about this book is the synergy Michael achieves, whether by effort or instinct, between his text and his visuals. In the best sense of the word, X-RAY ROBOT reads like it looks, and looks like it reads."--Howard Chaykin

"Absurdly inventive, beautifully realized, and maniacally joyful. X-Ray Robot is what comics so should aspire to be."--Brian Azzarello

"Mike Allred's work consistently captures the purest joy and escapism you can find in comics. I have bought everything that Mike has produced for the last thirty years, and X-Ray Robot is on my pull list."--Alex Ross

"There's no one quite like Mike Allred, and there's nothing quite like a Mike Allred comic. X-Ray Robot is another fine example of Allred's unique take on the world and the comic book medium, by turns insane, moving, gripping, and beautiful. We really need a new word; Allredistic. "--Peter Milligan

"--It just wouldn't be another Mike Allred masterpiece without existential angst, retro-hip design motifs and clear and clever story-telling. Luckily, X-RAY ROBOT not only has all those goodies to spare but also Michael's other vital element...characters that make us care about them. As always, Mike shines his high-powered x-rays on the human soul, seeking to unveil the quirky and personal realities that live inside all of us."--MATT WAGNER

"Anyone expecting Mike Allred's talents as writer and artist to diminish over the years--will be disappointed. He's as good as he ever was!"
