Out of This World #15
"Return From Saturn" delivers a delightfully twisted tale from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, where precision and obsession collide in a world where mechanics blur with humanity. When a bookkeeper’s error sends the Clock-Maker into a frenzy, the police arrive to find a broken automaton—and a man whose perfectionism may be his undoing. The story’s eerie precision is matched by Rocke Mastroserio’s striking cover, a fitting visual echo of the tale’s unsettling precision.
