Ranxerox

A short-lived but explosively influential two-issue series from Catalan Communications, Ranxerox brought the Italian cyberpunk antihero to American audiences in 1984–1985. Written by Stefano Tamburini and defined by the visceral, hyper-detailed artwork of Gaetano (Tanino) Liberatore, the comic follows a violent, custom-built android and his teenage lover through a grotesque, neon-drenched future. Originally a sensation in Italy's Frigidaire magazine, this English-language edition matters as a key early import of European underground comix, showcasing a raw, satirical edge that helped redefine what comics could be.
