Sam Slade, Robo-Hunter

    (Fleetway Quality, 1986-1989)
™ and ©1986 IPC Magazines, Ltd.

The world of the future has turned heavily to robots to perform virtually every task. Robots of various sorts act as customs agents, cooks, butlers…even policemen. But some robots go bad. That’s where Sam Slade comes in.

Sam is a Robo-Hunter: he tracks down and destroys misbehaving robots. He is accompanied in this mission by his faithful robot pals Hoagy and Stogie (a robotic cigar—go figure). Possessing a great deal of chutzpah, Sam sets out for England to ply his chosen trade. There, all humans are on permanent vacation, and the entire business of the country is run by robots. Although penniless, Sam manages to scam his way into a hotel room at the Savoy, and writes rubber checks to set up an office on Baker Street. Soon he begins a new set of offbeat adventures as England’s only human Robo-Hunter (and only working human!).
