Magnus Robot Fighter
By R. A. Jones
The times, they are a changing.
One of the most fondly remembered comic book series of the 1960s was “Magnus, Robot Fighter”. Set in the year 4000 A.D., the series centered on the heroic adventures of a young man named Magnus, who had been trained to shatter steel with his bare hands.
Magnus lived in a near-Utopian world in which sophisticated robots performed most physical labor – leaving mankind free to follow other pursuits. Occasionally, however, a robot would malfunction or fall under the control of evil men. When that happened, Magnus was called upon to stop them.
The book was a straight-forward action series, the stories fairly simple and unremarkable. What made them memorable was the clean, beautiful artwork of Russ Manning.
“Magnus, Robot Fighter” has been resurrected by Valiant Comics, and clearly shows how our sensibilities have changed in 25 years. The basic premise remains the same, but the slant of the stories is different.
Magnus now questions his right to destroy robots that are capable of independent thought, for he worries they may actually be living beings. So far, the series asks us to ponder the very nature of life.
Scripter Jim Shooter, who’s been writing comics since he was 13, has given us a new series that is proving to be superior to the old. It is a solid science-fiction tale that works very well.
It would be extremely difficult to match the level of artistic excellence achieved in the original series, and here the new book falls a little short – but only a little. Art Nichols and Bob Layton come close, and close is good enough. Combined with the quality of the paper and the coloring, it makes for an attractive package.
“Magnus, Robot Fighter” sells for $1.75 and is available in comic book specialty stores.
