RANX, the Italian science fiction graphic novel series by Stefano Tamburini and Tanino Liberatore, follows a bizarre antihero, Ranx, a mechanical cyborg made from discarded photocopier parts. In a world that is a parody of contemporary society, Ranx is a colossus in a world of savages, but don't look for hidden meaning in these epic stories: they are merely a pretext for a lethal dose of cyberpunk, gratuitous violence, and eroticism. This book features the entire RanXerox collection that was serialised in Heavy Metal Magazine from 1983-1999, plus extra stories, sketches, a gallery, and more.

While technology still plays an integral role in our story and the world, we have purposely toned it down substantially, instead choosing to focus on refining a few key innovations.' - Morgan Rosenblum ';The goal was to create a unique and unusual future, one that might actually feel more like an alternate reality or vivid dream.' - Matthew MedneyThe year is 2449 - Abel Kane, an accomplished writer, witnesses a murder. But when he discovers the victim was a machine in a ';skin suit', his life is turned upside down. Its mere existence is either an anomaly or part of a surreptitious takeover. Soon Abel finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. The more he investigates, the more he begins to fear he might be the only human left.
