2001: A Space Odyssey #8 - Jack Kirby art & cover + 1st Machine Man

Jack Kirby

2001: A Space Odyssey v1 #8, 1977 - In a hidden desert complex, a scientific project ends when one of their experimental androids runs amok. All of these prototypes are subsequently destroyed, save for one delivered to a humane scientist. Dr. Stack prepares the last thinking android for the real world, while nefarious people are plotting his destruction. Jack Kirby's naive new superhero is drawn amidst frenetic action scenes and technological backgrounds. Sadly, his story art far surpasses his hurried cover. The android named X-51, would be called Mister Machine and later, Machine Man by the start of his own self-titled series.
