Owner's Description

1st Deathlok! Going on the premise of a type of a cyborg. These machines will combine their wisdom, man-made, to the individual! I hope they get along. Deathlok and machine, go at it as a team! Giving some love to my boy, another bronze 1st from around the CGC cutoff for modern submissions, currently anyway. These 70's 1sts all kind of sprouted like trees, only to be recently farmed as fodder to people's speculation. Some great original ideas, given style for the Marvel usual, and they had let in new talent. Given the conditions at the time, they still got nice or great stuff out the door. Rich Buckler? Art. Make mine Marvel, but hardly heard of him. Klaus Janson? Now I've heard of him! Classic artist that went on to "bigger and greater" things but had the starts of something here to prove worthy of being the "go to" when the time came. Do not despise "small" beginnings!

Complete with a back cover picture of the last issue of this run, which is also, the first Newsstand available for this run, issue #36. Some dislike the barcode, but they are "markings" of what was the original distribution system for comics, and yet, having it 1st on Newsstands as the last issue? I'm not sure that sort of distribution is wise, I mean, "here is what you've been missing" kind of thing?

Grader Notes:
crease right bottom of front cover breaks color;
crease right top of front cover breaks color;
spine stress lines breaks color.
