'''"Super-Elec"''' is the 156th Mandrake [[daily story]]. 
The story was written by [[Lee Falk]] and drawn by [[Fred Fredericks]].

== Plot Summary ==
Dr. Nuron designed the world's biggest computer, "Super-Elec". The giant computer was made to almost run the entire city. Super-Elec did handle all traffic and street light, bridges, tunnels, subways, city heating, police radio, airport traffic and on. 

Soon in the city; traffic jams, street lights exploding like roman candles, subways running wild. And in homes people are chased by electric appliances.

As Super-Elec said: ''Humans are finished. The age of machines has come.''
