    Macross #1
  • Full color, Released: 1984 This first release from Comico used character names such as "Rick Yamata" from the English language version of Macross before the completion of the 85-episode Robotech series in 1985. One of the hardest issues to find, this comic adaptation of the "Boobytrap" episode was reprinted as part of The Macross Saga Vol.1 from DC Comics / Wildstorm with dialog revised to be consistent with Robotech.
    • Robotech: The Macross Saga #2-36
  • Full color, Released: 1985-89 Comico continued to adapt the rest of The Macross Saga with the comic issues corresponding to each of the respective television episodes. Due to the length of the series, issue 36 was also the last Robotech comic released by Comico. These have now been reprinted as The Macross Saga trade paperbacks from DC Comics / Wildstorm.
    • Robotech Special: Dana's Story
  • Full color, Released: 1988 Though generally considered the start of the Robotech Masters saga, this comic adaption of the "Dana's Story" episode was released as a double-length special after the conclusion of the Robotech Masters series. This was timed to avoid spoiling some events that were unfolding in The Macross Saga which was being concurrently published.
    • Robotech Masters #1-23
  • Full color, Released: 1985-88 This second series of comic adaptations of the Robotech television episodes was released soon after the start of The Macross Saga in an aggressive publishing schedule that alternated between each of the three Robotech series every two weeks.
    • Robotech: The New Generation #1-25
  • Full color, Released: 1985-88 This third series of comic adaptations of the Robotech television episodes was released immediately after the start of the Robotech Masters in an aggressive publishing schedule that alternated between each of the three Robotech series every two weeks. Highly respected writer Markalan Joplin passed away right before the release of the final "Symphony of Light" issue.
    • Robotech: The Graphic Novel
  • Full color, Released: 1986 This highly-anticipated oversize edition was the first comic to cross over elements from the three Robotech sagas. The prequel storyline began to tie the Robotech universe together as a whole, from the Super Dimension Fortress' original mission under Zor, to Roy Fokker's early tour of duty aboard the U.S.S. Kenosha. The opening segment of the story has been reprinted in The Macross Saga Vol.1 from DC Comics / Wildstorm.
    • Robotech 3-D
  • Red/blue 3-D process, Released: 1987 Comico responded to collectors' demand for a reprint of the hard-to-find "Boobytrap" issue in an innovative way: by re-adapting the first episode of Macross as a Robotech comic in 3-D format. Each issue was also bundled with a pair of red & blue 3-D glasses.
