Hopeful Rowemantic Studios’ ‘N.A.R.L.I.’s Tubular Tales’ And ‘The Ineffable N.A.R.L.I.’ Slated For April Release
by Brendan M. Allen
This April, Kevin Michael Rowe and William Montalvo want to introduce you to N.A.R.L.I. the Radical Robot. Aimed at fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Atomic Robo, both N.A.R.L.I.’s Tubular Tales and The Ineffable N.A.R.L.I. officially drop on April 13th at Industry City in Brooklyn, NY.
N.A.R.L.I.’s Tubular Tales
In Saturday morning cartoon style, the Radical one skateboards with a dinosaur, travels in time to meet a famous artist, teaches kids about safety, and comes face to face with his arch nemesis The Nerd and the evil organization known as B.O.G.U.S.
Written, colored, and lettered by Kevin Michael Rowe, art and cover art by William Montalvo
The Ineffable N.A.R.L.I.
Join the bodacious bot as he takes his drivers test, protects his mom from the diabolical plans of the Nerd and B.O.G.U.S., and witness the debut of what will be N.A.R.L.I’s greatest foe, G.R.O.D.I.!

“It all started because I was daydreaming at work instead of doing my job,” said Rowe. “As a huge fan of Bill & Ted movies and Star Wars, I just got to wondering what C3-P0 (would) be like if he was programmed by Bill & Ted themselves. I later met William Montalvo at writing class at Comics Experience, during the pandemic.
“Both William and Scott went above and beyond in turning my ideas into pictures, and I am so proud of what’s transpired! I hope that when people read N.A.R.L.I., they get the same feeling they did watching their favorite cartoons and shows growing up—a sense of adventure, fun, and a slightly forced moral message reminding us to be rad to everyone!”
