Reviews

"This is a pretty amazing artifact for any RoboCop fan" - Badass Digest "The early storyboards are awesome, the concept designs are legendary, the creature is the stuff of nightmares, and seeing it all unfold in one hefty book (seriously, the thing weighs almost five lbs.) is extremely satisfying." - Midroad Movie "A real visual feast that provides everything from concept art, behind the scenes special effects shots, storyboards, production stills, and memorabilia." - Comic Hype "it's a joy to read, as it's both insightful and entertaining" - Michael Cavacini
