About this ebook
SERIES PREMIERE
JUMP STRAIGHT INTO THE NON-HUMAN RACE WITH 42 ROBO-GORGEOUS LAUNCH-ISSUE STORY PAGES!
In a climate crisis-ravaged future metropolis, an old, grumpy, obsolete, smoke-belching, cigar-chomping, HOTROD-RACING ROBOT is one 12-year-old girl’s only hope. Together, can they outrace the chasing Robo-Cops with an invention that might just save humanity?
Early praise for Petrol Head:
“Rob Williams continues his winning streak with Petrol Head, yet another entry in the list of peculiar yet terrific yarns that only he could come up with. This time he’s joined by the superb Pye Parr, whose stunning artwork makes this a must-have.” —Garth Ennis, Preacher, The Boys
“Like Fury Road f***ed a rainbow!" —Chris Burnham, Batman Inc.
“Alex Toth's Hot Wheels via Akira, Wacky Races Beyond Thunderdome, a cranked up Pat Mills/John Wagner Hell trek; the poignancy of an over-the-hill fighter and the cynicism of Rollerball. Art that MOVES AS YOU READ IT.” —Mike Collins, Dr. Who
“Possibly the most original comic book I’ve seen in a long time.” —Chris Weston, The Filth
“Petrol Head is bloody great. Big, bold characters, loin-shakingly loud cars, and a dome-delicate world of adventures for our anthropomorphic pollution pumpers to smash through. A reminder for EV evangelists like me that though they may kill you in the long run, big loud engines will always be cool.” —Duncan Jones, Director of Moon, World of Warcraft
“Petrol Head was a kick right to the side of my, admittedly soft and human, brain! What happens when warbots go vintage? This is a world where content and entertainment rule, it's AI meets THE RUNNING MAN. Petrol Head is a blue collar hero for a post-apocalyptic society, and his story's a death race bum rush of an adventure that you can't ignore!” —Steve Orlando, X-Men, Midnighter
“The Fast and the Furious with gorgeously-rendered robots in a future that's exciting, meaningful, and also somehow just the right kind of stupid fun. It's so obviously going to be a blockbuster movie. Gear-crunchingly awesome.” —Paul Cornell, Dr. Who, Wolverine
“Engaging story, fine art. As a dedicated follower of future robotics it’s a must-read for me.” —John Wagner, Judge Dredd
“Just read Petrol Head #1 from Rob Williams and Pye Parr and it's unreal. This must be one of the most exciting comics, both visually and story, I've seen in ages. Get this ordered. They've done a great job!” —Mark Millar, Kingsman, Marvel’s Civil War
“Start your engines for a high-octane, all-age SF thrill ride! Robots, races, intrigue, social commentary and a smart-talking cybernetic blue tit called Dave! Williams and Parr have a winner on their hands!” —Cavan Scott, Star Wars: The High Republic
“I'm not even remotely into cars but Pye's art here demands its own colourful toy line, gorgeous!” —Duncan Fegredo, Hellboy
“Pye Parr’s lusciously dynamic art is a revelation, bringing post-apocalyptic racing to life in ways that shouldn’t be possible on the page, and Rob Williams’ engaging story of a girl and a robot on the run will appeal to grownups and kids alike” —Alex De Campi, Parasocial, Bad Karma
“Petrol Head takes a high concept and launches it even higher, into the stratosphere! A book packed with greasy retro futurism, Pye Parr’s luminous visuals are as sharp as Rob Williams’ satirical edge, you better get in gear.” —Declan Shalvey, Old Dog, Alien
“Petrol Head launches you head-first into a brutal and vibrant future that feels both outrageous and tragically plausible. It’s a clever, explosive and visually stunning must-read from two of the best storytellers in comics!” —Torunn Grønbekk, The Mighty Thor, Punisher
“‘Petrol Head is the most fun I’ve had reading a comic in years.” —Ollie Masters, The Kitchen, Snow Blind
"Big, beautiful, smart AND fun—don't miss this one.” —Rick Remender, Deadly Class, Black Science
“A concussive blast of pure comics—part Rollerball, part demolition derby. Some of the most beautifully rendered Car Fu action you've ever seen, b
