In full-on action, the Robocop is told as Frank Miller always intended, composed straight from the master’s original writings and scripts! The vast majority of Miller’s insane ideas, vicious black humor, and robotic mayhem never made it to the screen, but every last bit is finally unleashed in this series. With sequential adaptation from Steven Grant and art by superstar Juan Jose Ryp.
