Mytek, El Ponderoso [SPA]
Mytek the Mighty is a gigantic robot fighting against evil. It is created by Professor Arnold Boyce and gamekeeper Dick Mason, both as pilot of robot. Gorga is their dwarf enemy.
An African tribe called Akari is worshipping a clay statue of a giant ape "Mytek". Inspired by that, Professor designed the robot. [Article about Mytek | In French | In Spanish | Comic Vine]
