Magnus, Robot Fighter #8
This November 1964 Gold Key issue puts Magnus front and center in a tense showdown against a massive, menacing green battle-robot amid a smoky, storm-darkened futuristic cityscape — fists blazing with energy as debris flies and a rocket-like craft tears through the background. The cover blurb promises a Grand Canyon setting where this ancient battle-rob threatens weather-control itself, making the stakes feel genuinely large-scale. Cover art by George Wilson captures the raw physicality of Magnus perfectly, and Russ Manning brings the full story to life inside.

On the Aliens' planet, the Earthmen are treated as honored guests. But some Aliens think they're dangerous spies. The men go sight-seeing after Bul warns of fanatics. Fanatics lead them into an empty chamber and lock it. Gas pours in, pitting their helmets. They'll be dissolved! They radio for help. Bul frees them and the fanatics are killed. That was a disintegration chamber. In the future, the Earthmen will be guarded at all times.
