Astonishing Tales #32
In "The Man Who Sold the World!", Deathlok pursues a dying mobster who holds the key to his transformation, only to see him killed before he can reveal the name of the doctor behind his cyborg existence. With the trail cold but the mission clear, Deathlok vows to follow the money—and Mike Travers, still unaware that Nina Ferry remains linked to the Omni-Computer, struggles to stay ahead of Major Ryker’s relentless tracking. Written by Rich Buckler and Bill Mantlo, with art by Buckler, Keith Pollard, and Bob McLeod, and a cover by Rich Buckler and Dan Adkins, this 1975 Marvel tale delivers tense, grounded sci-fi intrigue in a 25-cent package.
