"Albedo Anthropomorphics", or "Albedo" for short, is a furry comic book anthology series which is credited with starting the furry comic book subgenre that featured sophisticated stories with funny animals primarily intended for an adult audience.Fact|date=March 2007 The first issue of "Albedo" was published in 1983; [ Greb, John, " [http://www.comics.org/series.lasso?SeriesID=2823 Albedo 1983 series] ", The Grand Comics Database Project. Accessed 12 April 2007] new issues were still being published in 2005. [Shanda Fantasy Arts, " [http://www.shandafantasyarts.net/mainpage.php?seriesID=22 SFA: Albedo] ", Shanda Fantasy Arts. Accessed 12 April 2007]

It was started by Steve Gallacci who produced the main feature of the series, "". It is a sophisticated science fiction military series set in a sector of space populated by sapient and predominantly 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 in the complex political conflicts that consume her universe. [Sanguine Productions, " [http://www.sanguine.com/Albedo/index.shtml ALBEDO: Platinum Catalyst] ", Sanguine Productions. Accessed 12 April 2007]

Other series have included:
*"High Orbit"
*Matt Howarth's "Konny and Czu"
*"Space Wolf"
*The first episodes of Stan Sakai's "Usagi Yojimbo"
*"Watchrats"

The title was originally self-published by Gallacci through 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. [Several, "", WikiFur. Accessed 12 April 2007] [Sanguine Productions, " [http://www.sanguine.com/Albedo/index.shtml ALBEDO: Platinum Catalyst] ", Sanguine Productions. Accessed 12 April 2007]

There was also an associated but short-lived fan magazine. "Refractions" carried original artwork, stories, and discussions of various parts of the cultures shown in the "Erma Felna, EDF" universe. Steve Gallacci contributed new material and cover art for each, but the bulk of the material came from other sources. Published by R'ykandar Korra'ti/LOW ORBIT PUBLICATIONS in the 1990s, the series ran only three issues; a fourth was tentatively announced, but cancelled for lack of original material after the end of the color "ALBEDO" run. [Korra'ti, R., conversation with the publisher, LOW ORBIT PUBLICATIONS, April 2007]
