Monday Mecha Madness CAPTAIN VIDEO "Island of Conquerors"

Makino, the Robot Who Inspired the Creation of Marvel's Ultron...

...as we showed HERE, wasn't the only Metalic Menace that TV hero Captain Video battled during his short comic book career!
There were also these guys, mechanized monsters who plotted to take over the planet!

This story from Fawcett Comics' Captain Video #6 (1951) was penciled by George Evans and inked by Martin Thall.
You'll note that the Captain and Video Ranger now look like actors Al Hodge and Don Hastings, who played them on TV, instead of the generic "handsome hero" look of issues 1-4. 
Unlike some of the more fantastic stories the comic produced, this one could have been done as a several-episode arc of the TV series, especially with the "human-looking" robots!

Monday Mecha Madness TERMINATOR "We Are Who We Are!" Conclusion

If You Dare Witness What Has Gone Before...

...it's 2031 and SkyNet Rules the Planet!
We discover not all cyborgs are Terminators, and a kid commando with a link to someone who will one day help Save the World is learning just surviving ain't easy!
Bet you have questions galore, but you'll have to wait until September to have even some of them answered, because next week is the return of...aw, you guessed...
...with a kaiju-sized reveal as to who the enemy behind the recent attacks by organic and metallic creatures from meteors is!

Monday Mecha Madness TERMINATOR "We Are Who We Are!" Part 1

When Last We Saw Our Future Filled with Homicidal Robots...

...things are definitely not going well for the humans of 2031..only five years from now!
To Be Continued Next Monday!
Scripted by Publisher/Editor Tony Caputo, penciled by Tom Tenney, and inked by Jim Brozman, this never-reprinted story from NOW's Terminator #2 (1988) adds some interesting backstory to the scarce info then available about the future cyber-controlled Earth!
(Terminator 2: Judgement Day didn't come out until 1991, and, until then, there were novels, comics, and games to flesh out (as it were) the history of Earth...and most of them have since been shown to be apocryphal/not canon!)

Monday Mecha Madness UNUSUAL TALES "Where Does It Go?"

Have you ever seen a bus pass by that you're unfamilar with, and wonder...
..."Where Does It Go?"
This never-reprinted tale behind this never-reprinted Rocke Mastroserio cover offers one possibility!
While the concept is rather kool, I have to ask, why is the robot such an insulting s.o.b.?
Writer Joe Gill, penciler Bill Moino, and inker Vince Alascia probably could have provided the answer when they created this story for Charlton's Unusual Tales #29 (1961), none of them are around now to answer the question...
