Machine Man #12

Marvel's Living Robot faces his most dramatic accusation yet in this December 1979 issue, with cover art by Steve Ditko. The cover shows Machine Man — clad in his distinctive pink-and-white costume — reeling from a powerful energy blast, while a quartet of identical flame-haired figures in white uniforms loom above him, declaring him guilty of plotting to destroy the Earth and sentencing him to death. It's a visually arresting setup that puts Marvel's most unusual android hero squarely on trial against what appears to be a formidable group of cosmic judges — with writer Marv Wolfman and artist Steve Ditko on hand to make every panel count.
