Magnus, Robot Fighter is a fictional comic booksuperhero created by writer/artist Russ Manning in 1963. Magnus first appeared in Magnus Robot Fighter 4000 A.D. #1, published by Gold Key Comics in February 1963. The character was subsequently published by Valiant Comics and Acclaim Comics in the 1990s, and was reintroduced by Dark Horse Comics in August 2010. In every incarnation, Magnus is a human who battles rogue robots in the year 4000, though some aspects of the concept have varied with each publisher.
Premise
By the year 4000, humanity has become dependent on robots. H8, the Pol-Rob [Robot Police] chief of the civic sector of North Am, a continent-spanning mega-city, is damaged in a radiation accident. It seeks to promote the human dependency on robots and gradually impose totalitarian rule in the area under its control.
Magnus was raised by a robot known as 1A, a name which implies that he is the very first robot of his type ever manufactured. 1A seems to be self-aware and possess emotions. A firm believer in the Three Laws of Robotics, 1A recognized the threat represented by the dependency of humans on robots in general, and the developments in North Am due to H8 in particular. Therefore, 1A trained Magnus to protect humans against both rogue robots, and humans who used normal robots for evil purposes. Magnus was trained from infancy by 1A in an under-sea domed house, using advanced techniques, to become a skilled martial artist who could break steel with his bare hands. In addition, 1A equipped his charge with a device that would allow him to "hear" robot-to-robot radio communications.

Magnus seems to be an overlooked comic book character that would be well suited for todays CGI movies.He didn't have any super powers,instead relying on his brain and physical prowess to defeat his enemies.It's Russ Mannings sleek drawings and vision of the future that really keep one enthralled with this character.This video trys to capture the menace of a future cotrolled by robots with some enhanced widescreen frames that wouldn't look out of place on a movie screen.

Magnus Robot Fighter - Highway To Hell
The final 4 issues of Magnus Robot Fighter (by artist Russ Manning, first published in Gold Key Comics starting in 1963 and ending in 1968,) featuring bigger and more complex robots bent on harming the human race.Magnus would continue on in different iterations and different storylines, but the first 21 issues drawn by Russ Manning have stood the test of time and are still considered adult comic classics.The plotting and artwork raised the bar for super hero comics so high it has rarely been matched except (IMO) by Neil Adams.This video gives a quick animated breakdown of each of the last 4 issues and ends with a "Highway to Hell " coda with the great music of Chris Rea ..
