with apologies to jack kirby…
marvel’s solicits went up yesterday and among them was the first issue of a MACHINE MAN run i wrote for MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS. i don’t really know what the protocol is for talking about the story itself, but i’ve brought the amazing NIKO HENRICHON (pride of baghdad) on with me, who was as dazzled by the absurd brilliance of the original kirby machine man as i was. he’s doing full color art, soup to nuts, and we’re both having ridiculous fun playing in this particular sandbox.
anyway, here’s the solicit:
