Magnus, Robot Fighter #16, November 1966. “Cloud-Cloddie, Go Home!” Cover art by Russ Manning. Robots, robot-punching, talking dogs, an underground society of Gophs, and a female character named Pert. How did this not become a huge sensation, especially with these great robot designs? (Although Magnus does seem to have found this one’s weak spot…)
