Jimmie Robinson has an extensive career, starting with self-publishing
and currently with Image Comics. His first work with Image
comics was Amanda & Gunn (1996 - 4 issue mini-series).
This black & white series was a direct spin off of from his self-published
work, Cyberzone (8-issues, 1994-1996). It featured the black heroine,
Amanda Shane and her intelligent gun in a sci-fi environment as a
bounty hunter. The lesbian sexuality gave the title a cult following
due to Robinson’s fair treatment of the character.

Robinson later changed gears to the light-hearted all-ages material with,
Adventures of Evil & Malice (1998-1999). This was Robinson’s first
full color book. Originally set as a 4 issue mini-series, it had to be cut
down to 3 issue due to low sales. Much of this due to the odd name for
an all-ages book. But even today it remains a favorite among his readers.

Robinson shifted gears again taking on a project by writer Ché Gilson called
Avigon (2000), which started out as a 56-page novella. This was the first
collaboration for Robinson and it was well received. Image Comics decided
to extend the book into a 184-page TPB. Robinson completed the title in 2005.

In 2006 he took on the superhero genre by creating a super villain in Bomb
Queen (2006 4-issue series). This sexed up title, while T & A on the
surface sported satirical social and political commentary while poking fun
at pop culture and celebrity. Currently Bomb Queen is going strong.

Robinson’s latest all ages outing, T.Runt!, published byImage Comics’ Shadowline
is scheduled for release mid 2009 T. Runt! is the charming tale of the runt of a
litter of Tyrannosaurus Rex babies and is co-created by Derek McCulloch.
