The Empire Strikes Back Weekly #128
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Chapter XI: The Training" delivers a gripping blend of suspense and wonder, as a deep sea explorer makes a startling discovery: a colossal reptile emerging from the ocean depths. With dynamic artwork by Jack Kirby and inks by Steve Ditko, the story captures the creature’s awe-inspiring journey to the surface and the ensuing chaos—before it collapses, unable to survive in the air. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Tom Palmer perfectly frames the moment’s tension, making this 1980 Marvel UK weekly a standout in the saga.
In a gritty corner of the galaxy, a desperate criminal steals a high-tech robot to pull off a daring bank heist—only to find his own clever plan backfires in a flash of cold logic. When he commands the machine to "guard the door" of his hideout, a single misstep in phrasing locks him inside for good, leaving him trapped in a silent, mechanical prison he never saw coming.
