Magnus, Robot Fighter Archives Volume 3
The last of three volumes collecting artist Manning's mid-1960s stint onagnus, Robot Fightercontains the story many fans remember as the series' high point, "Cloud-Cloddie, Go Home," in which Magnus, who uses martial-arts skills to protect the world of 4000 A.D. from renegade robots and traitorous humans, learns of the impoverished underclass living on the lowest levels of the glittering continent-wide city, NorthAm. Again, this collection suffers from substandard reproduction that drops out much of Manning's crisp line work. What remains, however, is sufficient to affirm thatMagnuswas one of its era's most gorgeously illustrated comics.Gordon FlaggCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
