Does anyone watch it beside me...has anyone HEARD of it > besides me? 1)) It's new in THIS country; it is a translation of (I gather) a three- part Japanese series; Macross (What I'm seeing here in NYC metro on Sat mornings 7:30AM; having to get up w/ toddlers on weekends has its advantages :-) ), Southern Cross, and Orguss. It has been reviewed somewhat in net.comics; general opinion is that it is probably the best of the 'giant robot' cartoon series brought over from Japan. 2)) Yes, it IS available in comic form; the closing credits for the episodes I see say as much. However, since the publisher (Comico) is one of the independents, you probably have to find a comics specialty shop in order to get them. I have seen three titles on the shelves; 'Robotech - The Macross Saga', 'Robotech Masters' and 'Robotech - The New Age (?)'. Try an inquiry in net.comics about mail-order or where you might find it locally. 3)) As I said, getting up with little ones on weekends has its pluses. :-) Bob Halloran Sr MTS, Perkin-Elmer DSG ============================================================================= UUCP: {decvax, ucbvax, most Action Central}!vax135\ {topaz, pesnta, princeton}!petsd!pedsgd!bobh USPS: 106 Apple St M/S 305, Tinton Falls NJ 07724 DDD: (201) 758-7000 Disclaimer: My opinions are my own.
