<div><p><i>Robot Investigator</i> by Vincent Stall follows a lonely robot on an expedition to a mysterious planet that looks a lot like Earth. The story unfolds like a parallel universe Wall-E as the robot explores what appears to be a pristine landscape. He meets curious gerbil-like animals and stumbles on . . . a band of feral humans. Who were they? Why did they turn into wild men?<i>Robot Investigator</i> is both sweet and melancholy, cute and grisly. Stall’s silent sequences are drawn with an inky, lush, and elegant line filled with expressionistic colors.<i>Robot Investigator</i> is Stall's masterpiece. The book also includes a sixteen-page robot parts catalog.</p><p><b>Vincent Stall</b> is an artist, cartoonist, and designer.
