Robotech

Ken Steacy’s painted artwork defined this 1987 NERI miniseries, a three-issue comic adaptation that brought the sprawling mecha-anime saga of Robotech to the printed page. While the series has continued in various forms from other publishers since, this foundational run distilled the epic, multi-generational conflict of the original show into a vivid, standalone comic experience. It matters as an early, artist-driven bridge between Western comics and Japanese animation, capturing the franchise’s signature blend of giant robots, alien war, and romantic drama.
