“I picked up a pile of comics last night for $5 at a yard sale. Some Ross Andru Spideys, a Mysterymen, and two Desert Peaches. There were about forty comics in the stack. I breezed through the balance of them in the time it took me to read those two Peaches. Man your writing is dense. Value for the dollar.”

–Mark Campos (long-time illustrator for Marvel and DC, and indie comix creator of ‘El Mago Szazbo!’, ‘Exapno Mapcase’ and ‘E. Soames’)

THIS ISSUE:

“A Day at the Beach“ – Rumors of Allied submarines along the African coast motivate Pfirsich (The Desert Peach) and his infamous brother, Erwin (The Desert Fox), to try a brand new sub-locating tactic – SURFING! Yup, time for lots of nude surfing atop wooden coffin tops in search of enemy subs! And just in case you think that’s ludicrous, wait’ll you see what happens once they FIND one!!!  By far the most insane – and inane – of all the Desert Peach books ever produced.

THE SERIES:

“Love, Honor, Death and Tea” — that about sums up the life of The Desert Peach, the Desert Fox’s gay younger brother. This classic series swings wildly from tragedy to belly-laughs, as World War Two flaunts itself at its weirdest. THIS IS THE KINDLE 1 & 2 EDITION and made specifically for those devices. If you would like to see a DX edition, please let us know by emailing us at contact@robotcomics.net

“As the World War II history buffs among you know, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (otherwise known as “Desert Fox“), had a younger brother who, alas, died in infancy. And as the serious comics fans among you know: No, he didn’t. The kid didn’t die, that is—at least, not in Donna Barr’s telling! No, that kid (seen above in adulthood) grew up to be Manfred Rommel, Barr’s fictitious gay brainchild otherwise known as “Desert Peach,” who has been starring in printed comics and books for the last twenty years and, in keeping with the digital revolution, has also established a secure beachhead in the webcomics world of ModernTales.com.” –Howard Cruse (Creator, STUCK RUBBER BABY, FROM HEADRACK TO CLAUDE) “Ooooo…Donna Barr…DONNA BARR!! Miss “Look at ME…I’ve written a BILLION ISSUES of DESERT PEACH”!!! Look at ME…I do inventive storylines like GAY NAZIS…MY characters are SOOOOO interesting!!! I’m SOOO good MY books SELL!! Lahdee-freakin’-doodie-DAHH!!! We GET it Barr…YOU ROCK!! Donna Barr…pfffft…” –Tom Beland (Creator, TRUE STORY SWEAR TO GOD)

THIS ISSUE:

“The Bar Fight” – The Desert Peach and his orderly drop into the local bar for a nice, cool beer, where they discover that prejudice must always be struggled against. The episode features some of the most beautiful fight scenes between two muscular men anywhere in the series, including one of the most fearsome kicks, and some nasty work with a table. “Love, Honor, Death and Tea” — this sums up the life of The Desert Peach, the Desert Fox’s gay brother. The classic series swings wildly from tragedy to belly-laughs, as World War Two flaunts itself at its weirdest. THIS IS THE KINDLE 1 & 2 EDITION and made specifically for those devices.

We’re officially on the Amazon Kindle!

After becoming the world’s first comic publisher on the Nintendo DSi and having our Droid Comic Viewer rise to the top (most-used) comic viewer slot on the Google Android platform, conquering the Kindle seemed the natural next step!

All of our Kindle releases will strive to have the best clarity of image and readability of text possible – two hurdles that have long plagued Kindle and Kindle 2 users when it comes to comics. This was particularly tricky because we sought hard-to-find or out-of-print comics to fill our initial Kindle library! Comics that were hand-lettered, and not at all created with digital adaptation or multi-format presentation in mind.

“Due to the fact that reading on a Kindle is the closest that any mobile user can get to reading a printed book or comic, we wanted to offer readers something truly special – not just a digital version of what they could already read in print, but instead a number of titles that were made for print but no longer readily available in printed form.”, states Robot Comics‘ Deputy Director for USA, Dave Baxter.

Our first release

Our first Kindle comic, now available for purchase, is The Desert Peach #1 by 80’s comix writer/artist Donna Barr. Originally published in 1989, now long since out of print, The Desert Peach #1 introduces readers to Oberst Pfirsich Rommel, the fictional gay younger brother of Erwin Rommel – The Desert Fox! Along the way we also meet Pfirsich’s aide, Udo; the entire motley crew of the Halftrack 469th Support and Grave-Digging Battalion, and readers are ushered into the exotic and harsh climate of 1940’s North Africa. It’s history and humor with not just a dash of true-to-life dramatics.

Extras include:

• A new author introduction to the series by Barr
• A new “DER KAUZ” letters page with never-before-published letters
• Preview for The Desert Peach #2.

Throughout its 20 years of publication, The Desert Peach has won the Inkpot Award, the Xeric Grant, and the Washington Press Association Award for Humor. Now Robot Comics is proud to re-introduce modern readers to this lost gem of 80’s and 90’s comix history.

Free custom screensavers for Kindle

We’re also offering Kindle users a free download of custom-made Desert Peach screensavers for their Kindle 1 or 2 (they’ll be a mite small on the DX), courtesy of us.

Upcoming releases

Future Kindle releases will include the 900-page, out-of-print fantasy/horror epic Armageddonquest by Ronald Russell Roach – a work that took the artist 10 years to complete! And the independently produced first work of writer/artist Steven Walters, titled Suburban Folklore.

Kindle 1 or Kindle DX?

Currently, we’re only focusing on comics for the Kinde 2 device. If readers would like to see comics for their Kindle 1 or Kindle DX, they can email us with their rabid demands at contact@robotcomics.net or leave a comment below.
