Saucy Robot Stories

ONE HOT ROBOT Sam's a mechanical man who lives in the Big Apple and enjoys the friendship of Augie, a hapless ex-janitor and Doona, a gorgeous girl reporter-and boy do they have adventures Or is that misadventures? Regardless, SAUCY ROBOT STORIES offers up six terrific tales of the world's first fully functional robot running amuck in the halcyon days of the early 1940s. He doesn't know who built him or why, or what his purpose on the planet is, but with a little luck and the love of his pals he's not going to let anything stand in his way of experiencing everything real life has to offer him in the big city...and beyond. Creator Jim Beard (Sgt. Janus, Monster Earth, Monster Aces, The Lemon Herberts) has assembled an all-star line-up of authors: Sam Gafford, M.H. Norris, Travis Hiltz, Justin Bell, Aaron Smith, and Chuck Miller. They're spicing up the sauce with stories of larger-than-life gangsters, movie premieres, ghostly taxis, baseball hijinx, carnival freak shows, and the secrets of life and death. You'll soon realize this ain't your grandfather's robot yarns
