Best Sci Fi Comics with Robot Covers in 2026

2026 Price Guide for the Best Sci Fi Comics Featuring Robots on the Cover

Humans and robots have a complicated history.

From Lost in Space to Doctor Who, we've all learned the hard way that robots are not to be trusted.

The creators of (especially) Golden Age comic books let their imaginations run wild.

The result is that robots became angry overlords, apparently obsessed with scantily-clad and perky women wearing dresses.

The good news for collectors is that if you track down one or more of those classic robot comics, they are worth a small fortune in good condition.

All this can be confusing. That's why Clicktibles.com is here to help.

Best Sci Fi Comics With Robot Covers

Startling Comics #49
Robot bondage cover

Lowest price $4,000

Average price $14,000

Record price $132,000

This is an absolute classic cover! Alex Schomburg created this insane robot carrying off a bound woman. It's the most sought-after robot comic ever created.

Fantastic Comics #3
Classic robot cover

Lowest price $30,000

Average price $90,000

Lou Fine created several so-called classic covers in the Golden Age, but this one is by far the most desirable -- and very rare -- sci-fi comic book.

Only 17 unrestored examples have been certified by CGC, but this number includes a CGC 9.4! When that is sold, a massive record will be set for this issue.

Batman #70
Batman and Robin robot team-up

 A nice twist on the "robots are bad" story, with Batman and Robin getting a helping hand from the Robot Cop of Gotham City.

Detective Comics #239
Batman's robot twin

Lowest price $40

Average price $200

Record price $4,800

Wonder Woman also fought a robot version of herself. There are probably other examples if you dig deep enough into comic book history!

Journey into Mystery #118
1st Destroyer

Lowest price $20

Average price $80

Record price $7,200

This cover always stands out, as the white space around Thor and Destroyer the robot pop from the blue background. Classic!

Justice League of America vs robots are a classic head to head. Rich Buckler did the cover art.

If any evidence were needed about the intent of robots, then this cover proves they are bad news.

Average price $500

Record price $22,500

Metal Men are another long-running DC series that hasn't appeared in the DCU yet.

Superman vs robots is a classic cover! Golden Age robot covers are very popular with collectors.

Wonder Woman #137
Diana robot story

Lowest price $25

Pretty much all DC Comics characters have fought themselves at some point. Diana's enemy is actually a robot in this case.

ROM #1
1st appearance

Lowest price $5

Average price $20

Recent 9.8 Sale $180

Record price $700

You'd be forgiven for thinking Spaceknight was a second part of the title, but no, it's just ROM. Surprisingly this ran for seven years.

Magnus Robot Fighter #1
First in long-running series

Lowest price $50

Average price $250

Record price $3,600

One of the few Gold Key Silver Age issues I like. Very collectible as the first in its series.
