Hey, remember that one time H.P. Lovecraft and Charles Fort teamed up with Nikola Tesla's robot son to defeat an eldritch horror from beyond the stars?



No? Well, we have to fix that then.

5 pages and 1 panel from the first issue of Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time after the jump



So, to start our story, Robo's stuck studying at home while Tesla's away on business when he gets some unexpected guests. Realizing that they won't go away if he just ignores them, he answers the door.

Did I mention Lovecraft was racist? Because he's racist.

Reeeeaally racist.

Anyways, Fort and Lovecraft need to see Tesla right the fuck away and won't take no for an answer. This wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't halfway across the world and not expected to return for another three weeks, so the world is doomed and will likely end within the hour.

Wait, how do these two know Tesla anyways? Fort has the answer to that:


Long story short: Fort, Tesla and Lovecraft's dad (who was America's top secret occult investigator) all teamed up and used Tesla's death ray to zap an extradimensional alien out of existence - only they kinda fudged the physics on it, so they didn't actually kill it.
So where did it go?

Want to find out what happens next? Well, go get the comic then. It deserves money.


And for those on dial up (or who want larger scans), behold!

You totally should.

Atomic Robo is one of the series that's currently going on that makes me not hate comics.
