Magnus Robot Fighter
Inserted into each issue of Magnus Robot Fighter, from issue #1 through issue #8, were three trading cards by various artists (Steve Ditko, Marc Silvestri, Andy Kubert, Jean Giraud aka Moebius, Adam Hughes, Joe Kubert etc.) and a coupon. Each card featured a different character in the Magnus and Valiant Universe including Tekla, Leeja and Rai - The appearance of Rai on the trading card was in fact Rai's first appearance.
The coupons could be collected and sent into Valiant Comics to redeem a copy of Magnus #0 which itself included a trading card, by Barry Windsor-Smith. A version of Magnus #0 was later offered to retailers who ordered a certain number of Magnus books but this version did not contain the Barry Windsor-Smith trading card.
The Magnus trading cards were later offered as an uncut sheet that was limited to 400 pieces. The uncut sheet has a black Magnus Robot Fighter logo in the center. There is also a poster available, which is not printed on cardstock, and has a red Magnus Robot Fighter logo in the center.

Famous quotes containing the words magnus, robot and/or fighter:
“A pathological business, writing, don’t you think? Just look what a writer actually does: all that unnatural tense squatting and hunching, all those rituals: pathological!”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“A pleasant smell of frying sausages
Attacks the sense, along with an old, mostly invisible
Photograph of what seems to be girls lounging around
An old fighter bomber, circa 1942 vintage.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
