American Update: Atomic Sci-Fi: Robotmen Of The Lost Planet
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Another of Avon’s 1950s science fiction one shots this week: Robotmen Of The Lost Planet from 1952. A full-length tale of robot revolt against humanity (the lost planet is Earth), this features perhaps the creepiest looking robots I’ve seen, who certainly have an unsettling appearance. You can see what I mean on the cover shown here; nice if undistinguished art by Gene Fawcette, who did a lot of this sort of stuff around this time. This is a sound, flat copy, with great cover colour, nice off-white pages and tight staples; no specific defects, just edge wear.
