Magnus Der Robotkämpfer

A German-language revival of the classic Gold Key science-fiction hero, this 8-issue series from Norbert Hethke Verlag reprints the foundational 1960s stories by writer-artist Russ Manning, with additional scripting by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer. It chronicles the adventures of Magnus, a robot-fighting champion in a future where humanity has outlawed mechanical life, blending pulp action with thoughtful questions about technology and survival. Though brief, the series is a key document for European fans, preserving Manning’s clean, dynamic artwork and his influential vision of the character.
