The Brand New Microbots #1

Time Travel Travails!

Sometime in the future.  Man has devastated the Earth and only a few survivors manage to hold on to life in an underground cave bunker.

After several years a few of the survivors attempt to leave the cave and start a new life.  A scientist and his young son decide to stay behind and enter two experimental suspended animation cells.

As the world changes around them the two sleep only to be awakened millennia later by a young primitive boy out exploring.

He takes them to his people's camp and the village is attacked by a mutated monster.  In the may lay the father is killed and both boys are banished from camp and must set out on their own.

While out they come across a large preprogrammed ancient battle tank that attacks them and chases them to the village.  

The boys and their robot sidekick manage to destroy the tank but not before it destroys the village.

Reunited with the ‘cave boy’s’ people they and the villagers set out to build a new life.

With a great cover, clever story and nice interior art The Brand New Microbots #1 was a welcome introduction to a new series from Gold Key Comics way back in 1971.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." — Romans 15:13
