Out of This World #10

Jan 1981 · Alan Class · 0.20 GBP
“Return From Saturn”

In "Return From Saturn," Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a delightfully twisted tale where precision and obsession collide. When a bookkeeper’s minor error sends the Clock-Maker into a frenzy, the local police arrive to find a mechanical man being repaired—raising questions about what’s truly alive in a world built on perfect time. The story’s eerie tone is perfectly captured in Rocke Mastroserio’s striking cover, a 20p comic from 1981 that’s as sharp as its central mystery.
