Albi Spada - Magnus, Anno 4000 #10

In "Il misterioso robot-piovra," the enigmatic Xyrkol unleashes a magnetic force field robot to assault North Am, while deploying two humaniform androids to sow chaos within Magnus's inner circle. As the hero follows the trail to Xyrkol’s hidden base in Antarctica, a tense confrontation looms between man and machine in a battle of wits and will.

In "La nave in fiamme," a stranded ship burns as its crew lies unconscious, leaving Zarz to make a desperate call: every human must evacuate before the crew can escape. With the hypatomic engines failing and panic spreading, alien rescuers arrive—only to be met with gunfire. As flames consume the vessel, Zarz rallies a last-ditch effort to save them all, urging unity through mind-force. Outside, Captain Johner stirs to life, just as orders to hold fire are issued—hope flickers in the chaos, but the outcome remains uncertain.
