DEATHLOK THE DEMOLISHER COVER GALLERY - PART ONE...

"The MARVEL AGE Of COMICS, PHASE TWO!" said

the cover of ASTONISHING TALES #25, which marked the

debut of DEATHLOK The DEMOLISHER.  Created by RICH

BUCKLER, it was probably inspired in part by TV's SIX MILLION

DOLLAR MAN - but only in the sense that Deathlok was a cyborg,

as was STEVE AUSTIN.  That was the only similarity, although, in

1977, 2000 A.D. featured a strip called M.A.C.H. 1, which, inev-

itably I suppose, combined elements of Austin and Deathlok for

a British readership.  However, that's a story for another time -

let's now enjoy some cataclysmic covers from the '70s.

And don't forget to come back for part two.
