Bad robot!

Startling Stories's tube girl
As if a sword were any match for a ray gun...

This metal-man has a ray gun, shoots lasers out of his eyes, and is strong enough to abduct a scantily-clad human female with only his left arm. Pretty dangerous! He’s the creation of Earle Bergey for the cover of the January 1950 issue of Startling Stories. Meanwhile the interior has an illustration that is uncredited as far as I can tell, and is quite voeyeristic (who’s looking through what?). It’s proportions are such that, properly reduced, it too might make a nifty bookmakr.

This issue of Startling Stories is available to be read and downloaded from the Intenet Archive.

  1. This metal-man has a ray gun, shoots lasers out of his eyes, and is strong enough to abduct a scantily-clad human female with only his right arm, actually.
    Presumably metal-men have inbuilt ambidexterity.
