Journey into Mystery #88
In *Journey into Mystery* #88, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a quirky, offbeat tale where American machinery—fed up with sabotage and lies—rises up to protect its own. When a Soviet spy tries to stir unrest among factory workers, he underestimates the machines' loyalty to their homeland and their unexpected will to defend it. The cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko captures the chaos, while Ditko’s distinctive art brings the mechanical rebellion to life.
