Murder #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Payoff!", Steve Ditko delivers a surreal twist on guilt and compulsion in a story where a man’s television set drives him to commit crimes—only to have the device itself arrested when he’s caught, turning him into an unlikely hero. With Ditko’s signature blend of psychological intrigue and sharp, precise art across both interior and cover, this 2017 issue stands as a striking example of his enduring, offbeat storytelling.
In "Social Justice," a man’s television takes control of his actions, driving him to commit crimes—until, when caught, he turns the tables by pointing at the TV itself. The appliance is arrested, the man hailed as a hero, and the line between guilt and innocence blurs in this sharp, satirical twist on accountability and public perception.
