Out of This World #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Return From Saturn," Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a delightfully twisted tale where precision and obsession collide. When a bookkeeper’s minor error sends the Clock-Maker into a frenzy, the local police arrive to find a mechanical man being repaired—raising questions about what’s truly alive in a world built on perfect time. The story’s eerie tone is perfectly captured in Rocke Mastroserio’s striking cover, a 20p comic from 1981 that’s as sharp as its central mystery.
In "The Clock-Maker!" from Out of This World #10 (1981), a meticulous inventor whose obsession with perfection borders on the obsessive finds himself in trouble when a minor error sparks a police investigation. When the authorities arrive, they discover the bookkeeper wasn’t human at all—just a clockwork man—and the Clock-Maker was simply fixing him.
