Just got my hands on a copy of "The Robot Builder's Bonanza, 2nd Edition", ISBN 0071362967, and it has some content on Mindstorms robots as well as hybrids made from bits of Lego, circuit boards, wood, metal, and plastic. Looks pretty good, and has (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.books)

(...) That's impressive. These will almost certainly be better-drawn than previously LEGO comic books like Jim Spaceborn and the Pirates one (the latter not being poorly drawn or anything, but a little too "Dinesyified" for my tastes :-)...

Ok, I'll answer my own question: (URL) I think I saw this a long time ago, but I had assumed that the "Mibo in Book!" link was referring to the Mibo on the cover of a Japanese magazine that Jin Sato had on display at Mindfest.
