		Russell Manning (born 1929, California, United States; died 1981) was an American comic book artist who created the series Magnus, Robot Fighter and illustrated such newspaper comic strips as Tarzan and Star Wars.
		Manning studied at the Los Angeles Art Institute, and later, during his Army service in Japan, drew cartoons for the newspaper at his military base.
		Magnus, his and Gold Key's best-known heroic-adventure series, was set in the year 4000, which Manning depicted as clean, airy cityscapes populated by shiny robots, handsome men and beautiful women.

	The Assembly Line, Part 1
		Russ was a brilliant talent but he was not the fastest artist in the world; he often needed help to get the work out.
		Mike is a better letterer than Russ, but as Russ worked through his phase of the work, it was sometimes more convenient for him to letter right then — so he did.
		Russ would have been hired to pencil it all out...and if he cared at all how the finished work looked, he'd have had to pencil it very precisely, because he would have had no contact with his inker.

	The Comics Journal: Interviews
		Russ went on to Star Wars, which I think he enjoyed even more than Tarzan, because Russ was first and foremost a big science fiction fan.
		Russ was disappointed that it didn't look just like his stuff; I was determined that it wouldn't.
		Russ was editor for a while for Edgar Rice Burroughs when they were publishing their own comics.

		It was one of the few sf comics in an era dominated by superheroes and other genres, and it boasted the compellingly crisp artwork of Russ Manning.
		Relatively simple by today's standards, the stories--many written by Manning, who was obviously influenced by Isaac Asimov and his famous robotic laws--are a notch more sophisticated than most other comics of its day and remain quite readable.
		Their main attraction, though, is Manning's gorgeous artwork, which many fans feel he never topped in later assignments, including illustrated newspaper strips based on Tarzan and Star Wars.

		Manning's introduction to Tarzan came in 1954 when he produced a Tarzan issue of March of Comics (#114), and a back-up feature for Tarzan (#63).

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Magnus, Robot Fighter, 4000 AD
		Manning, a long-time fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and other writers of fantastic adventures — in addition to being an artist with credits throughout the Dell/Gold Key line — was loaded with ideas.
		Magnus (whose name, Manning said later, was inspired by Maximus, a character in Leonard Starr's newspaper strip, Mary Perkins On Stage) was raised apart from human society, by Robot 1A.
		The city of North Am (which covers most of the North American continent in Magnus's time) is a direct descendant of the futuristic cityscapes of pulp magazine artist Frank R. Paul, as is seen in cartoon art from Adam Strange to The Jetsons.

		It appears Manning adapted the premise of "The Aliens" from the short story "First Contact" by Murray Leinster (William Jenkins 1896-1976), originally published in
		Manning's spaceships likewise recall those of pulp science fiction.
		As far as I can tell, Manning drew all "The Aliens" stories, though Dan Spiegle drew the Robot Fighter story in issue 23 and Paul Norris drew the Robot Fighter stories in issues 24 through 28.

		It wasn't published by one of the "big two" companies, Marvel and DC, but by minor player Gold Key; it was the rare sf title in a field dominated by superheroes; and it showcased one of the period's best artists, the relatively unsung Russ Manning.
		Its premise is classic sf stuff: in a future world grown weak from overdependence on cybernetic servants, Magnus, trained from youth by Robot 1A, protects the continent-wide city NorthAm from renegade robots and evil humans who use the robots against society.
		While his work on the original comic series lasted only twenty-one issues, Manning's creation has survived generations, influencing countless science-fiction artists and writers to this day.
