What a pleasure at last to see this large size and in color. For years I've had only a small b&w reprint in the original Italian. Amazing that Enrico Bagnoli was only 20 when he drew this. Despite having a number of swipes, his artwork is remarkably good. Bagnoli is one of my favorite Italian import artists...his work for St. John and Fiction House is first rate.
The story is kind of weird. The writer barely wraps up the marauding robot saga when he suddenly sends the villain and the hero into a subterranean world. The story abruptly becomes a Flash Gordon-style alternate-world adventure and the beleaguered surface world is forgotten. Until the last four panels (!) when our hero returns to the surface, orders a bombing raid on the villain's fortress, and ends the story in record time.

Apparently his last work was a followup to this.
Be interesting to see the differences.
