☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first story arc of the Image series Doctor Cyborg, following a cybernetically enhanced physician navigating a dystopian world where medical ethics clash with corporate and technological corruption. The collection presents the early issues of the 2004 series, establishing the protagonist's struggle to maintain his humanity while dealing with patients, enemies, and his own augmented nature.
In "Outpatient," the first issue of Doctor Cyborg: Outpatient (2004), writer Mark Wheatley and artist Adrian Salmon introduce a bizarre, self-aware twist: the comic’s own creators, Allan Gross and Mike Oeming, are revealed as the mysterious golf-playing antagonists behind Doctor Cyborg’s troubles. With Mike Oeming handling both the cover pencils and inks, the issue blends surreal humor and meta storytelling in a way that’s as unexpected as it is clever.
In this brief, sharp-witted twist from *Doctor Cyborg: Outpatient #1*, the creators Allan Gross and Mike Oeming step out of the page as the true architects behind Doctor Cyborg’s misfortunes—revealed as the sinister golf-playing masterminds pulling the strings. The story flips the script with a playful, meta punch, turning the creators into the unseen villains of their own tale.
