...actually, this scene appears later in this chapter!
Robot Adam Link, after realizing Humanity doesn't trust him (despite being innocent of committing the murder of his creator/"father", Dr Charles Link), decides to end his existence.
but another scientist, Dr Paul Hillory, aborts the process.
The scientist agrees to help Adam construct a mate, Eve.
But Dr Hillory isn't acting out of benevolence!
In assisting Adam, the scientist learns how to manipulate and control both the robots!
He then forces Adam to rebuild Eve in a larger, deadlier form...
Despite the downbeat ending, Adam Link continued to help humanity.
The original prose series ran for another seven stories, which were eventually combined into a "fix-up" novel...
Note the Isaac Asimov quote!
Before this particular adaptation, EC Comics attempted an ongoing comic series in Weird Science Fantasy.
Scripted by Otto Binder and illustrated by Joe Orlando, there were three stories directly adapted from the pulp tales; I, Robot in Weird Science Fantasy #27, Trial of Adam Link in Weird Science-Fantasy #28, and Adam Link in Business in Weird Science-Fantasy #29 (all 1955).
The cancellation of the comic due to the Werham-led Seduction of the Innocent anti-comics mania ended the series.
After the novel Adam Link: Robot was published, Binder and Orlando tried again, this time with Warren Publishing in the b/w Creepy magazine!
They re-conceived the three previously-published comics with a re-designed Adam Link, then adapted five more stories (including Adam Link's Vengeance), so,etimes as two-parters, before Warren ended the strip, which ran from Creepy #2 to Creepy #15 in 1966-7.
Both the EC and Warren versions are available in Weird-Science Fantasy and Creepy reprints!
Neither had been reprinted in standalone Adam Link books.
