Robot, n°1

Robot #1

by Various

Robot Vol. 1 is an all-color manga compilation and edited by the elite manga artist Range Murata, character designer for Studio Gonzo's Last Exile and Blue Submarine No. 6. His hand-picked contributors come together in a mind blowing experiment of what happens when top manga artists work in the unusual medium of color. From Range Murata's picturesque portrayal of a long and hot motorcycle ride through the countryside to Yoshitoshi Abe's tale of dark fantasy resembleing a D&D campaign gone horribly wrong, narrative diversity competes with high level artistic experimentation in this monumental work.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

J'ai trouvé ce manga par hasard chez Noz pour 0.99cts donc je n'ai pas cherché à comprendre, je l'ai acheté et lu dans la journée.
Il s'agit en fait d'un recueil de différentes petites histoires réalisées par différents artistes. Certaines planches sont magnifiques et m'ont beaucoup plu, mais la majorité n'étaient vraiment pas mon style.
Certaines histoires étaient assez perturbantes, c'est un livre à ne vraiment pas laisser entre toutes les mains.
Bien que très sympathique pour découvrir de nouveaux mangakas, je ne suis pas une grande fan de ce Tome 1.
Il n'en reste pas moins qu'il s'agit d'un très bel ouvrage.

Primer tomo de la antología de los tres que se publicarían en castellano. Índice pendiente.

[Tatiana Alejandra de Castro Pérez · Rating 2 out of 5]

Una lectura bastante floja, ya que no son historias completas sino primeras partes de un montón de historias. Algunas eran auténticos disparates sin pizca de gracia. No volveré a leer un cómic de esta colección ni aunque me obliguen a hacerlo, así de simple.

A nice little collection with short stories ranging from completely ridiculous to sweet to tragic. I look forward to reading Volume 2.

(No rating, because my edition is in Japanese and I can't read that.)

A collection of very short stories. The art is gorgeous, some of it 18+. Sure wish I knew what they were saying.
