Robot covers from Golden Age comics

[keraptis]

Robots are of course a big theme in old comics and pulps ... though relatively few of the robots were human-like and even fewer were female. I was looking at a Golden Age cover gallery and came across a few covers that featured more human-like robots.

Two covers featuring male robots, one of them explicitly sexual in nature:

Two other "mad scientist" covers featuring beautiful women who, while not necessarily robots, certainly can be imagined to be robots:

Since the covers of these magazines don't necessarily have anything to do with what's on the pages within, we can all imagine whatever we want ...

The Four-Sided Triangle was made into a movie. Black & white. The woman gets 'duplicated' in some manner, but yeah, there's no implied mechanical or otherwise artificial nature to her double.

I concur. Thanks for sharing, Keraptis. Some of those campy pulp comics are really, really cool. They're way ahead of their time, if you ask me...

I knew that you in particular would like them! You were the first person I thought of when I saw the two mad scientist covers. Planet Comics #56 in particular is a very compelling image ... I don't know why, but there is something special about serial-conversion type imagery.
