The fourth AKIKO Trade Paperback is a very special collection of shorts called “The Story Tree” re-presenting issues 19 through 24 of the on going series. In a secluded valley on earth, Akiko’s four friends from the planet Smoo entertain each other with their exploits on other worlds. First up is Mr. Beeba’s adventurous tale of the time he tracked down the final lost chapter of The Hemmin Spotter, an ancient text of galactic importance. Then Spuckler recounts a tale of chivalry and romance on the planet Brunk, where he helped a young woman’s grandfather escape a maximum security prison moon. Gax tells of his tour of duty on the Fognon-6 orbital power station and the frantic race to evacuate his robot brethren from the station before the Gothtek Corporation scuttled it. This tale also includes Gax’s first fateful meeting with Spuckler. Last but not least, a story from Poog’s past, told entirely in the Toogolian language, rounds out this latest AKIKO collection.
