Malinky Robot #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the whimsical, slice-of-life adventures from Sonny Liew's Malinky Robot series, originally serialized in various anthologies. Set in a near-future Asian city, the stories follow a cast of quirky characters—including a boy and his robot friend—through gentle, often poignant tales of friendship and urban discovery. The volume compiles the complete run of these critically acclaimed short stories, showcasing Liew's distinctive watercolor art and heartfelt storytelling.
"Stinky Fish Blues" is a standout issue in the Malinky Robot series, showcasing Sonny Liew’s full creative control as writer, artist, inker, colorist, and letterer. The story unfolds as three kids, after a mischief of stolen bicycles, trade tales told in wildly different comic styles—ranging from a fantasy strip called "Ingrown Nale" to a superhero saga titled "Doctor Midnight"—all rendered in a dynamic mix of uninked pencils, stark black-and-white pages, and vibrant color segments. The cover by Sonny Liew perfectly captures the playful, chaotic spirit of the issue.
In "Bicycle," three kids trade tales after a theft, weaving stories that leap between a surreal fantasy comic called *Ingrown Nale*, a whimsical Sunday strip, and a bold superhero saga featuring Doctor Midnight. The narrative unfolds across a mix of uninked pencils, stark black-and-white pages, and vibrant full-color segments, blending reality and imagination in a way that feels both intimate and wildly inventive.
