POST # 60 - "THE LAST!" by John Severin


Hello, Comic Art Fan!


I am

THE APOCOLYTE!


Welcome to another day of



Today's ROBOT tale features artwork by the great John Severin.
Written by Roger Mckenzie, it was originally published in Warren's CREEPY # 87, 1977.
Entitled "THE LAST", it focuses on a sole survivor...wait, he's not alone. 
He has a ROBOT companion of sorts. You'll see.

It is interesting to see a western themed science fiction tale, 
and Severin excelled drawing westerns, so that makes it even more fun!

Here it is,

"THE LAST!"

POST # 58 - "MANGLE, ROBOT MANGLER" by Richard Corben







Hello, my friend!

I am

THE APOCOLYTE!

Today we feature a ROBOT comic story done as only the great Richard Corben could do.

MANGLE, ROBOT MANGLER is a warped and hilarious satirical take on the Russ Manning comic character MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER, first published by Gold Key in 1963.  Corben  transforms Magnus into Mangle, and features his typical slightly dark and adult vision as we watch Mangle overly gleefully destroying his hated enemies, the robots. Magnus' girlfriend Leeja in the comics here becomes Jeela, and her views regarding robots seem to appear a bit different than ol' Mangle's, much to his disappointment.



Corben's unique artistic style always has the cinematic elements that the best film director would envy. He is equally adept and well respected for his abilities utilizing color, yet he is clearly one of the black and white mediums most accomplished proponents. Even his simplest renderings have a 
light source and shadows which propels his work from basic two-dimensional comics into an
amazing 3D reality.

Originally published in Last Gasp's SLOW DEATH #4 in 1972,
here is Richard Corben's

MANGLE, ROBOT MANGLER!

Poor mangled Mangle!
It seems there's always a new robot model coming out all the time,
 and it's so hard to keep up with technology these days!

Well, that's enough for now!

I'll have more ROBOTS
and more great black and white artwork to show you next time! 
Remember, as Mangle always says,
