Atomic Robo and the Knights of the Golden Circle

In Atomic Robo and the Knights of the Golden Circle, the brilliant, wisecracking robot adventurer—created by writer Brian Clevinger and artist Scott Wegener—teams up with Nikola Tesla and a ragtag band of historical allies to thwart a secret Confederate conspiracy during the American Civil War. This 2014 miniseries from Red 5 Comics combines pulp-era science, real history, and Atomic Robo’s signature blend of action and humor, offering a standalone time-traveling caper that deepens the character’s backstory. It’s a spirited, self-contained adventure that showcases Clevinger and Wegener’s knack for turning wild historical what-ifs into engaging comics.
