Robot Reading Room WORLD OF FANTASY "Iron Hulk!"

...who was so emotionally-attached to her, it sacrificed itself to save her!
But, that wasn't the first time that plot was used...
This never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Fantasy #19 (1959), scripted by either Stan Lee or Larry Lieber, is extremely similar to the previously-presented 1963 story, minus the "Christmas present" element and making the robot look like a life size toy soldier.
Note the lovely art by Joe Sinnott.
While most of you know Sinnott as one of the best inkers in the business, he was also a competent penciler as well.
Ironically, Joe didn't ink most of his own pencil work, since it was subcontracted by Vince Colletta's prolific studio for use by CharltonGold Key, and Dell and inked by Colletta himself!
You'll see another story with the same theme on Thursday.

  1. Vinnie Colletta had a bustling studio that employed many artists during a time when work was scarce. Among those who worked at the Colletta Studio were Joe Sinnott, Dick Giordano, Frank Giacoia, Joe Orlando, Hy Eisman, Wally Wood, Maurice Whitman, Jim Steranko, Matt Baker, Artie Cappello and, of course, Colletta inked all of it at lightning speed. I think that Charlton was paying about twenty bucks a page...
