Malinky Robot: Bicycle #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection presents the first of Sonny Liew's Malinky Robot stories, originally serialized in the early 2000s. It follows the gentle, whimsical adventures of two friends, Atari and Forest, in a near-future city, blending a manga-influenced art style with a heartfelt, slice-of-life narrative. Published by Slave Labor Graphics, this volume is a key entry in Liew's acclaimed indie series.
In "Bicycle," three kids who’ve stolen bikes spin tales that leap into wildly different comic styles—ranging from a surreal fantasy ("Ingrown Nale") to a nostalgic Sunday strip and a pulpy superhero adventure ("Doctor Midnight"). Written and drawn entirely by Sonny Liew, the issue blends uninked pencils, stark black-and-white pages, and vibrant color segments, all unified by his distinctive hand. The cover by Sonny Liew captures the story’s playful, inventive spirit.
