Good job. Magnus was one of my favorite comics back then. Manning was unexcelled. There were a few problems, though. I know Manning was going for designs that looked futuristic and evoked that kind of feel, but people lying flat in those air cars would just not have worked; it would have been murder on the neck muscles after a few minutes.
+VOLKHVORONOVICH Funny you should say that.I thought the same thing.It should have been more along the lines of the De Lorean in Back To The Future or the ones in Blade Runner.Manning did manage to evoke a futuristic sense with his buildings and robots and highways in the sky. Magnus's costume has come under a bit of criticism for the white boots and the Roman gladiator tunic, not much protection against the metal blows of the robots.One artist can't think of everything,it would need a committee of creative people to really think everything through to it's logical conclusion.Which is why this comic book and character are so revered.A lot of thought went into it and it's just a class above all the other super hero stuff out there.
Indeed. It will remain one of my favorites. Really loved issue 7. Leeja's mental journey was so well depicted I could virtually hear her calling out, "MAGNUSSSSS." Pure artistic perfection. Another favorite was issue 15, "The weird world of Mogul Badur." I really liked Zyfor, a robot who cold actually feel. Good job on the videos.
+VOLKHVORONOVICH My favorite is Issue 1, the cover was and still is a total knockout.I think the painter used Robert Redfords face as a model because it sure looks like him.From there I was hooked and I patiently waited each 2 months for the next issue.It was bi-monthly and the wait was intolerable.
I read these in the 60s. I had a friend named Bruce. I called him Bruce Robot fighter. Years later I looked up Bruce Magnus Robot Fighter on the internet, ha ha! I forgot I made it up. And the Venusians!
Thanks.Space Patrol is a wonderful walk down memory lane.You can use whatever screen shot you like.I'm looking forward to posting the 3rd part of the origin story because it introduces the beautiful Leeja Clane with the great Russ Manning art.
Thanks Greg.Of course full blown animation would involve an army of animators and would obviously be a great project for one of the major studios.Can you imagine Pixar doing Magnus fighting those Russ Manning robots.So cool.This little effort still took a few months but it was fun doing it. Tony
When Magnus is passing by the Outdoor Television Park the arena in the video is showing advertisement panels for Cadillac, Budweiser and Coca-Cola. Nice to know those companies survived into the fortieth century.
Great Job using the original illustrations from the comics! I do not understand why in today's cgi world they cannot make a Magnus Robot Fighter movie. Hollywood is vapid of creative ideas....
@@tronyfree I think Zack Snyder should make Solar, Magnus and Turok into movies. Universal Pictures now owns the rights to the Gold Key characters by virtue of buying out Classic Media corporation 10 years ago. I don't think their executives know they already own a superhero universe.
@@jedijones That's really interesting. It's true we haven't heard from the Gold Key universe, movie wise.Lots of potential there with the titles you mentioned.
@@tronyfree Yep, Dreamworks bought out Classic Media in 2012 for $155 million, and then NBC Universal bought Dreamworks in 2016. If they get this Gold Key universe going they can make up for that $155 million in movie profit! They could rebrand them Universal Heroes like the Universal Monsters. I could see Ed Norton playing Solar. Marvel fired him after playing another hero caught in a nuclear accident, so now he can finally get another shot at it! Solar seems like it would be the least costly to produce first. Turok could be played by Tyler Hoechlin, who is part Native American, or just do a casting call for pure Native American actors. Universal can call up all the dinosaur effects experts from the Jurassic movies! Magnus could be played by lots of superhero type actors...Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling. That one shouldn't be hard to cast, but the movie looks like it might be expensive!
@@jedijones Lots of good ideas. Hollywood has had some great success stories with lesser known superheroes/ graphic novels - Black Panther, the Watchmen. I believe their monster universe didn't do as well as expected and they're rethinking that one. So it makes sense for them to check out another stream of characters that may provide a profitable bonanza. Solar, Magnus, Eman, - there's some potential there. Even Brothers of the Spear.
FANTASTIC! i remember Magnus from the get-go in 1963. Do you mind if I steal one of your shots of North Am for my facebook timeline? North Am was the archtypal Future City. I reside on facebook at Space Patrol
At about 0:21 the olive-green robot chauffeur robot H-5 is probably thinking, "My-brother-H-8-got-to-be-Pol-Rob-Chief-and-all-I-got-was-this-lousy-T-Shirt-that-said-"I-visited-Central-Rob""
+VOLKHVORONOVICH I like your sense of humor.A chauffeur robot ???? That's probably why they rebelled."My brother H8 ..." Now that's a thinking robot.I've been trying to get Part 3 out so we can see Leeja Clane , another beautiful Russ Manning creation.
The very beginnings of that was known and the subject of science fiction as far back as the early 1960's. When 70% of Americans consider air conditioning a necessity; ouside the dry, hot southswetern US, including New England, and people say "I don't know how I lived without cell phones", which they did for most of my lifetime. You gotta take notice/ Cam you san "Welfare State" and 24/7/52 media streaming? It ends on Talos IV (Star Trek: the Original Series pilot I believe it's called "the Cage"
Nice touch with putting the video of fighting robots on the view screen. Nice to know that Cadillac, Coca-Cola and Budweiser are still viable brands in 4000 A.D. Oh, by the way, lazy lady watching the robot video at 5:57, if it's so brutal, why are you watching it?
She probably needs a robot to get up.Coca Cola in 4000 AD will probably supply a person with more than just sugar ,hopefully. Isaac Asimov had a great series of books on Robots, especially the ones involving Detective Elijah Baley and Detective Robot R. Daneel Olivaw. In his final Detective book of the series, he conjured a planet with only 200 ,000 people inhabiting massive estates, but they had over 100,000 robots serving each estate.They did everything, and the people forgot how to do the most basic tasks.We are certainly heading that way.We're developing self piloting cars and seriously making inroads into Artificial Intelligence. The gap between the engineers creating these wondrous toys and the people who use them but don't understand them, is getting larger and larger.We're at risk of creating a dual class society, the creators and the users.
I remember the Asimov stories. I remember also a letter that replied in "Robot Rostrum,' the Magnus letters page. The writer wondered why the robots in Magnus didn't obey the Three Laws of Robotics. Another writer pointed out that "Mister Asimov wrote the Three Laws of Robotics for robots in his stories." In other words simply because one writer came up with a good thing there was no literary law that every subsequent writer was bound to follow.
Very valid point.A person would assume whoever was building robots would be forced to put in some form of safety codes that resembled the 3 Laws of Robotics.. Which sort of bring s us round to why the robots in Magnus were rebelling.Were they becoming so sentient, attaining such human characteristics, that they resented being slaves to humans? If they were capable of feeling resentment at serving humans, did they then qualify as thinking independent beings that qualified for citizenship.Certainly opens up a whole can of worms about what defines a human being.
[1] The way I remember it something seriously went wrong with H-8. It's hard to even say, was he evil or was he just coming from a robot's perspective? One doesn't call a lion evil when it eats a man, it's just unfortunate for the man. H-8 was not human [though fiendishly intelligent]; what H-8 and the lion had in common was their orientation from a non-human perspective. Nonetheless H-8 had to be put down like the mad dog he was. Seems to me the more he got battered and broken the more the intrinsic insanity revealed itself. Yet, after H-8, it seems that North Am's problems were over as a whole. How far reaching was H-8's influence? Was he only the Robot Chieftain of his sector-or did his sector set the tempo for all of North Am's sectors? [2-3] After H-8 you had Mekman and Xyrkol-human menaces [no matter what that psycho who wanted to be a robot thought] and not robot. [4] T-1 acted on his own recognisance; he had every intention of it becoming a robot world, only [humans need not apply]. [5] Sigma was Xyrkol's baby. [6] Talpa I never saw when the original issue came out and the story never fixed itself firmly in my memory enough to define his [or its] perspective. [7] Malev-6. Brilliant concept. In his case hard radiation had erased certain programming from its mind. This may hit on the issue you've raised: these robots were all created with built in [human-friendly] inhibitors. I'm not sure what happened with H-8's; T-1 had his burnt out by that lightning flash [just remembered that; forgot all about that up to two paragraphs ago [It's all starting to come back to me, now!]]; don't know what twisted Talpa; Malev-6-aforementioned programming deleted. [8] The Battle-Rob-programmed by the Dissenters. [9] Nadmot-revenge driven wet-dream of a dead human scientist. [10] Octo-Rob-Xyrkol again. Nothing like a good repeat villain for when you can't come up with a new menace for next issue [Don't know how much mileage Stan and Jack got out of Doctor Doom!] [11] Beasts of Steel-Mekman again [about time!] so it's all his fault [Shiny ball of steel; not so shiny bald dome no longer covered by steel]. [12] The Volcano Makers-Zen Arbon, another human scientist, this time really demented. [13] Lazslo Noel [possibly a direct descendant of Ned Ludd]. [14] At last something caused by neither a berserk robot or a berserk human! [15] Mogul Badur. He was behind all the evil his robots caused. Except Zy-For [one of my favorite characters]. Wonder how Zy-For escaped Mogul Badur's influence. [16] My memory bets a little fuzzy here. You had the Gophs but I don't remember any berserk robots, other than Junko [and he was one of the good guys]. [17] Zypex. Wasn't he from Sirius, the Dog Star? He looked a bit like a dog, in any case. I'll stop there since my memory is getting vague as to the exact hero's and villains here [villains, anyway]. So by my count, H-8, T-1, Talpa, Malev-6, were the only real "Something-erased-my-"be nice"-circuits; now-I-will-kill-all-humans" robots. So, up till issue 17-Mekman [2], Xyrkol [4], the Dissenters, Nadmot; Zen Arbon, Lazslo Noel, Mogul Badur, Gophs, Zypex. Human psycho trouble makers clearly outnumber the robots by more than two-to-one [one could insert an appropriate philosophical observation, here]. This, of course, leaves off the issues left out for insufficient recall; but I haven't forgotten Bunda the Great, or that cabal of robot manfacturers [especially the Denebian viper cat!]
Youmust be around mya age. Do join our facebook group, you will find things there to tickle your fance, like links to vids of the shows, a Dan Dar (Brit Space man) episode done in a similar format to this You might consider doing DC Comics Adam Strange.

Hi FuzzyKarma, this isn't true animation, that would take an army of artists doing thousands of individual panels, or conversely computer animators working on different aspects for years at a time.True animation is laboriously intensive. Today's low end software like Power Director by Cyberlink does allow some minimal animation using different individual elements in a scene.By taking these individual elements and using the software to move them, it can give the illusion of animation.There's a little bit of a learning curve, but not as demanding as the software the studios use.
Maybe I asked the wrong question. In my childhood when I was growing up there were many of these "moving books". I seem to recall most of them were on Captain Kangaroo, maybe. There is a "name" for this "type/sttyle" of "video/animation/multi-celluloid manipulation/orwhateverthehellitscalled". THAT is what I want to know, so I can search for similar works and/or do this with my own work. I think I found it... It's called "picture book animation" I think... www.wired.com/2008/09/picture-books-t/
I remember see cartoons similar to this in the late 60's and early 70's. Minimum of actual animation. Sometimes they would insert the actual lips of actor on the face of the character when they spoke. If you see the DVD of "The Incredibles" on the extras section, they have a mockup satirical view of this type of animation.
Ok, I have to say it. I always notice that in comics of that era everyone is white. It’s this some alternate reality where the nazis won the war and got rid of everyone else??? 😮😁
Hi Juan, Actually, artist Russ Manning went to great length to include other cultures in this comic and his other ventures, Tarzan, and Brothers of the Spear. As you noted, perhaps there was predominantly white heroic characters in that era.They were probably targeting the spending public. That has been more then rectified in the modern era in all genres, TV, print and movies, the Black Panther movie is an example. It's an ongoing process and we can only hope the future continues to improve for minorities and races of all color. Thank you for the comment.
5:15 found the Easter Egg.... T'Pol .... thanks for resurrecting Magnus Robot Fighter, loved it as a kid
I read the comic books of Magnus's adventures, back in the 60's. I'd like to see feature films of Magnus.
One of my all time favorite comics. Great way to pay tribute to the wonderful artwork I remember so well.
I've recently been getting into the Magnus robot fighter comic books and this motion comic is Amazing! Great Job Man!
"1A was right! People do nothing for themselves! Robots WAIT on them... BUILD for them... EVEN THINK FOR THEM!" -Magnus Robot Fighter

VOLKHVORONOVICH they had neck enhancements. 🤓
Obviously you don’t know much about the year 40000
This was incredible...truly much appreciated !!
Thank you very kindly for your comment.Russ Manning's artwork still impresses.
These are fun adaptations!
Thank you Sean, much appreciated. I'm hoping there's a Magnus movie down the road somewhere.
I read these in the 60s. I had a friend named Bruce. I called him Bruce Robot fighter. Years later I looked up Bruce Magnus Robot Fighter on the internet, ha ha! I forgot I made it up. And the Venusians!

this was my favorite comic as a child. The art is impressive
Whoa, people sure dressed skimpy in the future both men and women. Like Magnus's short tunic.
Nice as all get out but real voices would send it over the top! Except for the robots, of course! Credit to Russ Manning for the original artwork.
When Magnus is passing by the Outdoor Television Park the arena in the video is showing advertisement panels for Cadillac, Budweiser and Coca-Cola. Nice to know those companies survived into the fortieth century.
+VOLKHVORONOVICH I should get some ad revenue from those companies.
Anyone notice at 5:15 T'Pal on the sky walk? As well as Dearing from Buck Rogers, and I think Flash Gordon was in front of Magnus.
I did stick some well known people in there, you are detective material. Bravo.
Magnus rocks. I love this.
Great Job using the original illustrations from the comics! I do not understand why in today's cgi world they cannot make a Magnus Robot Fighter movie. Hollywood is vapid of creative ideas....
What's funny is that this is read by a robot.
I paid 25 cents for one of the Magnus series comics I saw it sell on eBay for 75 dollars
1A.... AI.... Magnus was a premonition, a warning to the future, the future we now know is coming, that is beginning TODAY.
Love it!
I LOVE MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER!! YaY!!!
That was cool. Great job,
Thanks Arun, this world was so well realized by Russ Manning the artist, I think it would make a great movie. Lots of fans out there for sure.
