It feels like I've missed something here.
Sam Bronx and the Robots was a very brief comic book and read like a midway segment of a much longer narrative. It features the titular Sam Bronx who is a comic creator inhabiting a sprawling scrapyard near a futuristic city called Megaville. He is aided and frustrated by his robot, a former Alpha Spy 31, among other machines that can never do right by this highly-strung Terran.
I love Clerc's sloping and cartoonish art style and the sight gags seem fun but I believe I lack the full context. Just as I started to get a decent read on the character dynamics and world-building, the book ended. Rather disappointing.
I might look out for a full collection of Sam Bronx stories but I don't feel compelled to actively pursue it. In the meantime, if you like French comix and have access to Sam Bronx and the Robots, I'd give it a go.
