Young American audiences didn’t know what they were in for when Robotech became part of their after school cartoon line up back in the 80s. With it’s giant robots, aliens, exciting battles, and slightly mature storytelling, Robotech would introduce many to their first taste of anime and become a classic that has gained a massive worldwide fanbase over the years. So it’s even more exciting that the series will once again be returning to comics!
