“I Created Mechano!”

In "I Created Mechano!", two scientists face a nightmare they never saw coming when their experimental robot goes rogue and terrorizes the city. With the authorities closing in, they must defend their creation—only to find an unexpected ally in a group of alien invaders who flee in panic at the sight of the mechanical giant. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, illustrated with explosive energy by Jack Kirby and inked by Dick Ayers, this 1961 Marvel classic features a cover by Kirby and Ayers that captures the moment the robot’s rampage begins.
