The previous version of this book on site was from a reprint that did not have all the same material as the original. BIG thanks to Kewi for scanning his copy and letting me edit this old classic.

And thank YOU Krac for the great edit of my scans! The artist of the final story An Accident In Devil's Gorge Lab is Kinstler, according to Overstreet.

The artist on the last story is Gerald McCann.

Crashryan, I do think you are right! It probably IS McCann on that story. I am not sure what Overstreet currently says about the art credits on Robotmen, as my latest Price Guide is from 1989-90. Kind of out of date, right? So therefore, I defer to you on this. Thanks for correcting me!

This was reprinted as Strange Worlds #19, Feb. 1955. The alien design is based on the novelty toy Panic Pete, a.k.a Martian Popping Thing, still widely available. Its history and origins are obscure.

Well this sci-fi comic from 1952 was certainly a hoot. The main story is a three-parter about humankind fighting to regain control of the earth after robots have taken over. Clearly no-one told these robots about the Three Laws of Robotics. I know they're supposed to be a threat, but I couldn't get over the fact they looked like kid's toys. I see someone else has commented that they're modelled after Panic Pete. I'd never heard of him, but just looked him up. Seems like a strange way to draw the villains. The script was a little stilted in parts, but it was an interesting story. We think a life of pleasure and no work will make us happy, but working for a better future can bring us fulfilment. There's also a three-page comic about a dying scientist's interesting way of getting rid of a potential son-in-law. Didn't see that one coming. But my favourite was a two-page short story, 'The Man of the Future'. There was no writing credit that I could see, but it put me in mind of Ray Bradbury. Really liked that one. All in all, an interesting read that channels some of the fears of the 1950s.
