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. :-)
