Via
Nanogirl and the Yahoo nanotech
mailing list comes news of an updated "Magnus
Robot Fighter, 4000 AD." Apparently, it's from the Golden Age of
comics, before they went all commercial with "The Flash" and
"Spider-Man," according to this report. Of course, the new and improved
"Magnus" adds some nano for good measure.

"We intend to honor the Russ Manning vision of man and robot," said
(IBooks publisher Byron) Preiss, "but to add layers of complexity that
evolve from
nanotechnology, Asimovian thought and the world of personal computing
and artificial intelligence which did not exist when the character was
invented. Personally, I would like to get rid of the red shorts and the
'M' on the belt, but that is not decided. We certainly will update the
costume." More here.
