⚫ | ''[[The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot]]'' (1995) began as [[Frank Miller]]'s and [[Geof Darrow]]'s much more family friendly collaboration after the energetically demented ''[[Hard Boiled]]''. The comic was a big, over-the-top tribute to [[Silver Age]] comics, ''[[Godzilla]]'' and ''[[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]]''. The story is about a giant, primordial monster unleashed upon Tokyo which the military is unable to defeat it; subsequently the government is forced to send the newly developed and inexperienced Rusty the [[Robot Kid|Boy Robot]] in to try and neutralize the threat. Unfortunately he is also overwhelmed by the monster and the government calls on the aid of their [[America Saves the Day|American allies]] who send in Big Guy, a bigass humanoid robot, with two fists and [[More Dakka|a whole lot of guns]]. |
