Rook Bartley

Rook Bartley is a freedom fighter introduced in Comico's Robotech: The New Generation, set in the war-ravaged Earth occupied by the Invid. She joins the ragtag band of survivors working to resist the alien occupation and reclaim the planet.

Rook Bartley roared onto the scene in 1985 through Comico's Robotech: The New Generation, a Bronze Age series that brought the beloved animated universe to the comics page with real energy and style. Created by Jack Herman and Crusher Dave Johnson, Rook holds her own in a tight-knit ensemble alongside Scott Bernard, Rand, Lancer Belmont, Annie LaBelle, and Lunk — a crew whose shared adventures give the series much of its heart. Across 24 catalog appearances spanning the series' 1985–1988 run, she's a consistent presence in one of Comico's most distinctive licensed titles. For fans of that era of sci-fi comics or the Robotech universe at large, Rook Bartley is absolutely worth seeking out.
