Etranges Aventures #26
"Le Chevalier de la Nuit" kicks off a solo series spotlighting Robotman in his origin tale, as Cliff confronts the mysterious Chief—unaware that the man responsible for his mechanical rebirth is none other than Niles Caulder. Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated by Bruno Premiani, with inks by Premiani, the story unfolds with a haunting blend of mystery and mechanical melancholy. The cover, by Joe Kubert, captures the brooding intensity of the knight-like figure at the heart of the tale.
In *Le Chevalier de la Nuit*, Jim is pulled into a mystical realm where an aging king claims he’s the last heir of a legendary warrior. Forced to wield a fabled blade, Jim is drawn into a battle he never sought—until he learns his girlfriend was also taken, now held by the king’s enemies. With no choice but to fight his way through shadowed lands, he must confront the past to reach her.
In this origin chapter from *Etranges Aventures #26*, Robotman awakens with no memory, his mind trapped in a mechanical body, driven by a single vow: to find and kill the man who put his brain into the machine. His quest leads him to the Chief—Niles Caulder—whose true identity he does not yet know, setting the stage for a tense and mysterious first meeting.
