In "Murder on Another Planet," the 70th Anniversary Special of All Select Comics brings back the classic Marvex in a tale of interdimensional intrigue, where bizarre beings from the 5th Dimension unleash a super robot to enslave Earth's population—only for Marvex to turn on his creators and escape through a blast that sends him crashing to our world. Cover by Russ Heath, with inks by Hal Sharp, this 2009 tribute captures the pulp energy of the original series with a fresh, retro-inspired edge.
