Robinson's first major work was
Box Office Poison, originally serialized by
Antarctic Press and then collected into graphic novel form in 2001 by
Top Shelf Productions.
Box Office Poison concerns the life and trials of a group of young people in New York City (the central protagonist works in a bookstore, a job Robinson himself held for seven years.) Robinson's second
graphic novel,
Tricked, also published by Top Shelf, was released in August 2005, and both
Box Office Poison and
Tricked have been translated into French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and German. In October 2007 ''Alex Robinson's Lower Regions'' was released, a 56-page comic about "a sexy barbarian fighting monsters." Two sequels are planned for the coming years. His next graphic novel,
Too Cool to Be Forgotten, a time travel/high school story, was published by Top Shelf in July 2008, with
A Kidnapped Santa Claus, adapted from a
Frank L. Baum story, following in November 2009. Robinson's newest book,
Our Expanding Universe, was released in November 2015. Along with
Mike Dawson,
Tony Consiglio, and a few other cartoonists, Robinson is part of a loosely associated collective called The Ink Panthers. They had a
podcast called
The Ink Panthers Show which was available on
iTunes. The podcast ended in August 2016. Robinson also has a podcast with Pete "The Retailer" Bonavita called
Star Wars Minute in which they analyze, scrutinize, and celebrate the
Star Wars movies one minute at a time. == Awards ==
