“Magic, Myth and Madness!”

In "Magic, Myth and Madness!", Skull the Slayer finds himself caught in a surreal deception: the legendary figures of Arthurian legend—Black Knight, Merlin, and Morgan Le Fay—are revealed to be ancient robots locked in an endless war. Meanwhile, the sinister Slitherogue reanimates Scully’s fallen comrades, turning them into enemies bent on destroying their former ally. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema and Sonny Trinidad, with colors by Michele Wolfman and letters by Karen Mantlo, this 1976 Marvel classic features a cover by Rich Buckler and Dan Adkins.
