''Dresden Codak'' is a webcomic written and illustrated by Aaron Diaz. Described by Diaz as a "celebration of science, death and human folly", the comic presents stories that deal with elements of philosophy, science and technology, and/or psychology. The comic was recognized in 2008 at the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards for Outstanding Use of Color and Outstanding Use of The Medium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards">accessdate=1 December 2008 )〕 On October 22, 2008, ''Dresden Codak'' concluded a long-running sequence called "Hob", which focused on the character Kimiko's discovery of a post-Singularity robot and its attempted recovery by people from a future in which Earth was destroyed in a war with the artificial intelligence that once tended the planet. On February 25th, 2013, Aaron Diaz launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a hard cover book edition of the webcomic. Dubbed ''The Tomorrow Girl: Dresden Codak Volume 1'', it collected the first 5 years of the webcomic plus additional art and reformatted everything to fit printed media. The campaign reached its original goal of $30,000 in less than 24 hours and ended with a total of $534,994. == Subject matter == ''Dresden Codaks second longest-running story arc, HOB, focused primarily on the results of a technological singularity and the consequences of time travel. Accordingly, much of ''Dresden Codak'' falls into the cyberpunk and science fiction genres. The current and longest-running major story arc is Dark Science. The arc centers on Kimiko Ross, while introducing a few new characters. The arc also utilises to great effect the artistic style of decopunk, which, though notably present in the HOB arc, defines the city of Nephilopolis. However, the large number of one shot comics make ''Dresden Codak'' as a whole difficult to place into a single genre, and like comics such as ''xkcd'', it falls to the position of straddling much of geek culture. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dresden Codak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
