Comics and The Invisible Boy (1957)

Lt. Bob's back with this week's free streaming moooooviiiieee! From Youtube, it's The Invisible Boy (1957), the second film to star Robby the Robot. A supercomputer, with designs on world domination (microsoft?) has Timmie reactivate Robbie the Robot and directs the metal hulk to do his bidding. But while Robbie is an efficient minion, can he be made to harm the boy who gave him life?. Also some cool free comics.
