THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT,
A SCIENCE-FICTION WARNING
Two cops. One's a robot. But they don't know which.
Coming from Image Comics this June, BAFTA winner and writer on HBO’s award winning Veep
David Quantick teams up with legendary comics artist Shaky Kane (THE
BULLETPROOF COFFIN) on the migraine-inducing Pop Art, Cop-Buddy one-shot
THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT.
Two
cops patrol a near-future Los Angeles together in an oversized patrol
car, and one of them is a robot—but we don’t know which! “Welcome to a
world where identity is uncertain, the definition of humanity is open to
question and there is an evil giant leprechaun who can fly,” said
Quantick. “Welcome to That's Because You're a Robot.”
Kane
further described the mix of styles in THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT.
“Imagine 'Car 54 Where Are You?' channeled through Philip K Dick's
cryogenically preserved brain, broadcast via the first Pye color
television set with the color turned up to full retina burn,” said Kane.
“If you did, you'd get something close to That's Because You're a Robot... but not that close.”
THAT’S
BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT arrives in stores on 6/11 and will be available
for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140504.
