Albedo Anthropomorphics or its short name, Albedo, is the name of a furrycomic bookanthology which is credited with starting the furry comic book subgenre that featured sophisticated stories with funny animals primarily intended for an adult audience.
It was started by Steve Gallacci who produced the main feature of the series, Erma Felna: EDF. It is a sophisticated science fiction military series set in a sector of space populated by sentient and predominately humanoid versions of several mammal and avian species.
The main focus of the series is Erma Felna, a young feline officer who eventually plays a central role of the complex political conflicts that consume her universe.
The title was originally self published by Gallacci in his own company called Thoughts and Images. When the company folded, Antarctic Press resumed the title for several years, both in a black and white series and a short lived color one. Currently, the title is carried by Shanda Fantasy Arts.
There is also an RPG by the same name, based on the Erma Felna storyline.
is a "furry" comic (i.e., the main characters are anthropomorphic animals) written by Steve Gallacci.
Gallacci is a gearhead -- one of the editions of the comic, for example, contained an eight-page article (with several illustrations) describing the primary EDF armored fighting vehicle and it's many variants.
Overall, I think they (both the comic and the game) are well worth the cost for the background material alone.
The first AlbedoRPG was published in 1988, though it didn't seem to catch on very intensely.
Albedo: Platinum Catalyst is a modern RPG, based on the comic, written by an experienced RPG designer.
Albedo is potentially a high-injury game, even a high-mortality game, so you need some backup characters to, well, get injured, or to play if your main character is spending a month in sickbay.
