Astonishing Tales #25 - 1st Deathlok

Astonishing Tales #25

Astonishing Tales v1 #25, 1975 - Luther Manning was a brilliant military strategist, right up until an explosive blew off his arm and half of his face. To salvage his usefulness, the US military makes into a half-man, half-cyborg assassin for hire. Deathlok the Demolisher debuts at a time when bionic men and women pervaded pop culture and Marvel introduced new anti-heroes. This Doug Moench story was ably drawn by Rich Buckler, who conceived of both the idea and basic plot. The cyborg would continue on in Astonishing Tales for ten more issues. /// key 1st appearance, 1st origin, 1st cover Deathlok
