The Still Monster
All those who (really) love (really) retro sci-fi cannot miss (provided they are lucky enough to live in Italy) the just newly published color version of Zagor - Il mostro d'acciaio (Zagor vs. the Steel Monster), first published in b&w in 1963. Please notice the dynamic mecha design and the very useful arms-forward posture, along with the Frankensteinian neck cathodes or wtf. The giant robot has been invented by the crazy Professor Hellingen, who wants to - yeah - Conquer All Nations, starting from a small island of the First Nations. But do not fear, the unarmed hero will stop him and it within the space of few pages.
Need to add? I fully enjoyed it!!! Yay!!!
