'''''Dynamo Joe''''' was a [[comic book]] series published by [[First Comics]] from 1986 to 1988. Created, plotted and drawn by Doug Rice, it was scripted first by [[John Ostrander]] then by [[Phil Foglio]]. [[Ben Dunn]] sometimes filled in for Rice on the art.

The series occurred in the [[future]], involving a war in which three star-faring civilizations are being invaded by the alien and seemingly mindless Mellenares, huge green killing machines traveling in a straight line and destroying everything in their path. The brunt of the [[human]] defenses are giant, fusion-powered robots ("battle suits") called "Dynamo Class Robosoldiers" and crewed by living individuals. These battle suits can be configured for either planetary or space combat, and contain or use a wide variety of weaponry. ''Dynamo Joe'' focuses on the crew of one such suit: Imperium soldier Elanian Daro and Tavitan (humanoid feline) mechanic Pomru Purrwakkawakka, and their critical contributions to the war effort. ''Dynamo Joe'' ranged in tone from action-packed [[space opera]] to slapstick humor.
