OMAC #5

Jack Kirby's cover for this June 1975 issue lays out the premise with unsettling clarity: a massive machine dominates the center, its chamber glowing as frail, elderly figures shuffle in on one side while youthful, vigorous bodies emerge on the other — a body-swap racket that the cover bluntly calls "the most evil racket ever created." OMAC himself leaps into action from above, blue-suited and determined, ready to shut the whole operation down. It's a quintessential Kirby high-concept nightmare dressed up in bold design, with D. Bruce Berry's inks giving every line that crisp, kinetic energy the series delivers so well.
