Rico

Rico is a Zentraedi soldier in the Robotech universe who, after exposure to the culture of the human SDF-1, becomes fascinated by Micronian (human) ways — ultimately playing a role in bridging the two civilizations during the Robotech War.

Few characters capture the spirit of Comico's beloved Robotech universe quite like Rico, who made his comics debut in Robotech: The Macross Saga #9 back in 1986, brought to life by creators Jack Herman and Reggie Byers right at the dawn of the Copper Age. Over a remarkable seventeen-year span, Rico carved out a steady presence across the Macross Saga titles and the Robotech Special, sharing pages with fan-favorites like Lynn Minmei, Rick Hunter, and Max Sterling — the very heart of the Robotech saga. With 22 catalog appearances, he's a recurring face in one of comics' most cherished licensed sci-fi universes, and for collectors who love the era when Comico was doing something genuinely exciting with anime adaptations, Rico is a satisfying piece of that nostalgic puzzle.
