Smash 1 came out the month before, but this is a much nicer cover.

Agreed Sharon. Rex kicking some robot butt!

Niiice one - agree with all above, perhaps sans @plady69 - I would beg to differ there and would argue Rex is trying to pick robot nose. The butt-kicking must start not start until the interior on this early issue, I guess.

[Lou Fine] Hey Ed, the guys tell me you've got a comic cover with a robot coming out! First one ever, nice! I'm actually working on one of those.

[Ed Cronin] Hey Lou. Really, you are?

[Lou] Yeah, working on one for Fox, probably needs another few days. It's just taking a while to get all the anatomy and details right.

[Ed] Oh right, all the anatomy and details. Hey, uh, you think you could draw something else instead?

[Lou] Instead of a robot cover?

[Ed] Yeah.

[Lou] How come?

[Ed] Well, I mean, mine's coming out soon, seems like it's gonna be confusing to the kids to have two comics with robot covers out there.

[Lou] Well, they won't look the same, right?

[Ed] Well, they're probably going to be pretty close. I put a LOT of extra love into this one.
