Point me to Giant Robots

109 posts in this topic

Yours has a Comic Code cover, so maybe this one from the Archie thread qualifies.

OK, not giant, but then again we never did learn why Veronica and Betty were so infatuated with Archie.

Further up in time, there's this typical Giant Robot cover from a short run title by ACG - Midnight Mystery # 7 -

In the "earliest robots on comic-book covers" category, has anyone mentioned Timely's Electro?

First appearance in Marvel Mystery Comics 4 (Feb 1940), first name on cover MMC 5 (Mar 1940, along with a big ol' tank of "Nitro Chloride"), first cover appearance MMC 7 (May 1940).

Apologies if this has already been covered -- it's a long thread.

I found another Robot cover to ad to the list. Clue Comics #9 (1944).

Given the time frame, it's probably Marlene Dietrich, who looked better in a suit than any woman I can recall.
