Description: Astonishing Tales #13 CGC 6.5 1st Cover Appearance of Man-Thing 1st Cover Appearance of Man-Thing Although it began as a rather nondescript collection of Dr. Doom/Ka-Zar stories. Astonishing Tales struck gold when it introduced the character of Deathlok in issue #25. Since then Deathlok has gone on to become one of the hottest characters in comics. Deathlok’s story begins in the near future. The U.S. has been at war for years, and the military is desperate for some new weapon to turn the tide. When Luther Manning, a great military strategist, is killed, a decision is made to transplant his brain into a robotic body. Thus, Luther lives again as Deathlok, a cyborg killing machine. However, when Luther realizes what has happened to him, he rebels against his creators and escapes. Unable even to end his existence (the computer built into him prevents this), Deathlok goes on the run but has nowhere to hide. We try to describe comic defects that can not be easily seen. Hence, we rely on the large images we provide, which generally show the front cover, back cover, side views, and centerfold, which will show the quality of the interior pages.
