Magnus, Robot Fighter #15

This Gold Key gem from 1966 drops Magnus straight into "The Weird World of Mogul Badur," and Vic Prezio's cover makes that dimensional detour look genuinely thrilling — Magnus in his red outfit battles multiple spindly golden robots on a grand staircase while a robed, imperious figure (Mogul Badur himself) watches coolly from the background as sparks fly from the clash. With Russ Manning handling both writing and interior art alongside writer Herb Kastle, this issue offers the kind of imaginative sci-fi adventure that made Magnus, Robot Fighter 4000 A.D. one of the most distinctive series of its era.
