The Adventures of Nickels and Spud is a futuristic sci-fi, techno fantasy, which follows the exploits of Nickels (an outgoing dinosaur, human hybrid who is the owner and founder of his own salvation/bounty hunter company, his friend and associate, Spud (a friendly and quite intelligible vegetable based alien from a distant galaxy), their sarcastic and often insecure Ship simply named Ship and their new associate, Em—a petite—but more often than not—bigger than life princess from Earth. Together, they travel the cosmos, scouring the planets and moons for hidden treasures and what Nickels calls “Scum”, an umbrella term which means rubbish that can be sold for re-purposing and bad guys that have escaped the long arm of intergalactic law. And though they all have their unique skills, without each of them pitching in, they’re just loud, brash and a little above average; but together, they are explosive! Indeed, the universe is big, but these four combined may just dwarf it!
