Atlantis Fantasyworld celebrates the release of Lady Robotika #1, as we proudly present Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's! Wiedlin, who appeared as Joan of Arc in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, stars in and authors this fun cosmic rock and roll fantasy drawn by the artist of The Simpsons Comics, Bill Morrison! Jane and Bill will sign their new comic book at Atlantis Fantasyworld, Friday, July 16th from 12-2pm and 4-6pm.

Aliens from a distant planet abduct rock star JANE WIEDLIN (The Go-Gos) and force her into playing a concert for their Earth-obsessed emperor. On the trek back to their planet, they implant her body with nanobots as she sleeps. But, their plan to turn her into one of their cyborg slaves backfires when Jane learns to control the Nanites within her and becomes the super-powered cyborg liberator, LADY ROBOTIKA!

 
 

 

   

 

 

About Jane Wiedlin, writer of Lady Robotika
While in design college in the mid 1970's, Wiedlin stumbled upon the burgeoning LA punk rock scene. She and Belinda Carlisle were inspired to form The Go-Go's. The band quickly became a local favorite and was signed by the indie label IRS Records. With most of their songs written or co-written by Jane (including the classic “Our Lips Are Sealed”), The Go-Go's went on to enormous success, selling out Madison Square Garden, the Hollywood Bowl and appearing twice on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. The band became the first ever all-girl group to write their own songs, play their own instruments, and become immensely popular doing it.

About Bill Morrison, illustrator of Lady Robotika
In 1990, Bill was recruited by Twentieth Century Fox's licensing and merchandising department to draw The Simpsons for nearly all of merchandise which fueled the Simpsonmania of the 90s, and occasionally took time to create designs for the TV show itself. He also contributed greatly to Matt Groening's publishing endeavors with artwork for Simpsons books and calendars. When Matt decided to start a comic book company, Bill was hired on as art director of Bongo Comics and drew the very first Simpsons comic story. He received an Eisner Award for his contribution to Simpsons Comics #1 and has had a hand in every Bongo Comic to date, either writing, pencilling, inking or supervising. In 1997, Matt Groening went into pre-production on his next show, Futurama. Bill helped out with character design, and when the show began full production, he was brought on board as art director.

In addition to his work on The Simpsons and Futurama, Bill has written and drawn his own comic book series; the four-time Eisner Award-nominated Roswell, Little Green Man and co-created the comic book series Heroes Anonymous. He has also recently written a Captain Carrot mini-series for DC Comics. His current creative obsession is, of course, Lady Robotika, which he is co-creating with his friend and creative partner, Jane Wiedlin.
