Russ Manning's Magnus, Robot Fighter

From 2004 to 2006, Dark Horse Comics revived the classic Gold Key universe with this three-issue collection of Russ Manning's Magnus, Robot Fighter stories, reprinting the creator's original 1960s work. Manning both wrote and illustrated the series, which follows the futuristic exploits of a hero trained to battle rogue machines in a world where humanity has grown dependent on robots. This collection preserves the foundational, clean-lined vision of one of the medium's great artist-writers, offering modern readers a direct look at the series that helped define the genre of man-versus-machine in comics.
