At Planet Comicon this year, I had at least three people ask me if I had any Giant Robo art, which I unfortunately didn't have. Well, I do now! Admittedly, I'm not deeply familiar with the series beyond knowing it's a thing that exists, but from what little I've seen, I think he's pretty cool. Plus, having done Golden Bat, I liked the idea of delving into some more relatively obscure stuff.

I think my favorite detail is that big red triangle on the chest. It makes me think that it's an abstract image of a big, courageous heart. I don't know if that was the original idea, but it's a fun sentiment.

My childhood...

... was 90% wtf, but all awesome.

These two shows defined my childhood! I loved watching them with My Mom and my brothers! Kimba, Marine Boy, Speed Racer and especially Starblazers were popular with me too, but giant monsters have always ruled!

Whether you call him "Giant Robo" or "Johnny Sakko's giant robot," their is no doubt that this gigantic titan is a certified bad ass.

That time I took a swig of Carolina Reaper sauce on a dare.

Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot 1967 Episode 26 Series Finale Review

And To All A Good Night… Sayonara Giant Robo 1967!So this is the end of the series. By now you probably guessed how it ends. If you haven’t seen this before. Anyway yes… Self sacrifice is on the menu. So is footage recycling. Some monster footage from earlier in the series is reused to save on the last episode budget. And Commander Izuma? He is aok with all this recycling… Why. This starts off…

Giant Robot wind-up toy.

I saw one of these in one of the numerous Mandarake stores at Nankano Broadway in Tokyo, and was floored by the number of zeroes that were in the price.
