About the series
In 1998, Image Comics published Automaton, a three-issue miniseries that explores the existential crisis of a sentient robot in a gritty, near-future world. Written and drawn by a single creator, the series stands as a compact, introspective take on artificial intelligence and identity, blending stark visuals with a philosophical narrative. Though brief, Automaton remains a notable example of late-1990s Image's willingness to publish unconventional, creator-driven sci-fi.
