Anyone else every pick up this comic series based on the novels of the same name?  It was a great story and had a race of amazon warriors called Praxians.  The comic depicted them as rather muscular.  Here's a sample:

I remember picking up a swimsuit issue when the series was still running that had some impressive artwork.

Aside from Ebay, any ideas of where to get these comics?

Try the two principle on-line comic stores, just type in "Robotech" into their on-site search engines and all of the listings for that title should come up.  😎

It's quite possible I can blame Robotech (at least in part) for my love of large females, from Giantesses to Amazons.  This show was being aired in America for the first time during my formative years and I didn't even realize at the time how different it was from other cartoons.  I just knew how much I enjoyed watching it and the fact that the Zentraedi were a race of giants (and of course giantesses) just seemed like a matter of course.  Why can't more cartoons be like this one?  Damn but this show was incredible.  Strong female characters abounded and not crappy one dimensional cliches that are foisted upon the majority of cartoons.  (Heck, even film is burdened by that problem.  Need a strong female character?  Make her really cranky and have her swear a lot.  Give her a tattoo even.  Wow she must be a strong character.)  I think I'm going to go back to my Robotech DVD collection and start watching it all over again starting with the Macross saga.  If only all the good things of my youth were so easy to return to.

This has been my weekly nostalgia rant.  I feel better now.
