☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Am the... Gorilla-Man," a desperate criminal turns to a mysterious typesetter whose headlines eerily predict real events—only to realize too late that the power lies not in the machine, but in the man behind it. With Steve Ditko handling both art and inks, this eerie tale from 1979 unfolds with a creeping sense of inevitability, while Jack Kirby’s cover pencils and Dick Ayers’ inks deliver a striking, otherworldly front.

A criminal skips town and sets up a newspaper as a front. When his typesetter changes the headlines from what they should read into what actually happens in the near future, he realizes he's got a goldmine, but the typesetter refuses to tell him how he can accurately predict the future. The criminal threatens to fire and blacklist the typesetter if he doesn't come clean, and the next headline he sets tells of an accident happening to the newspaper owner. Panicked, he turns himself in to the police so that he will be safe in jail, which is what the typesetter wanted all along.
