Robots Assemble: 'But Archie was never more dangerous than when he was in danger'.

'But Archie was never more dangerous than when he was in danger'.

The cover of the LION Annual for 1979 shows Robot Archie in combat with a giant octopus...

A little disappointingly the robot only appears in 4 pages of an illustrated story in the annual itself, but the book does have a great Adam Eterno story so it's not all bad news.

What is Robots Assemble ?

I've always been a fan of robots. From my earliest memories of toys and TV programmes like 'Lost In Space' I've been hooked. Hooked by the thought that they are programmed to do specific things and to behave in specific ways. Hooked by the fact that they often as not break free of this programming. Hooked by their varied designs. Yep. I love robots and a while back I created a website called Robots Assemble and collected Robot sketches and commissions from comic book artists. It's been a while and my collection hasn't really grown much in recent years as I've been busy creating comics myself, but I always intended to get it all going again and so here it is.
I'll add images and text as often as I can, and I think I'll start collecting robot sketches again ... Hope you enjoy what you see and it inspires you to visit comic conventions and start your own collections.
