Now, creator James Kochalka and Top Shelf Productions celebrate the 20th anniversary of this timeless epic with a jaw-dropping deluxe collection.

Robot and the Crystal of Power, have been newly colored by James Kochalka for this edition In addition, Kochalka completes the trilogy with a brand-new graphic novel appearing here for the first time, Monkey Vs.

It's a modern-day fable for adults and kids alike, based on the age-old struggle between instinct and reason, nature and technology.
