Amazing Mystery Funnies #21

In "Chapter 5" of *Amazing Mystery Funnies* #21, Tippy returns to the underground castle with the three artifacts he’s retrieved, only to be guided there by Mr. Doaks, a giant winged bird he’s met before. With the wizard’s help, the artifacts are used to bring the castle’s dormant robots to life, sparking a new era of mechanical sentience—though not all are content with their new existence. Written, drawn, and inked by George Loomis, this 1940 adventure features a striking cover by Paul Gustavson, capturing the whimsical yet mysterious tone of the era’s early comic storytelling.
