☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Green Star," Joe’s ordinary morning is upended when a mysterious shaving cream bottle releases Lance, a genie who bears an uncanny resemblance to Joe and offers to fulfill Linda’s desire for adventure. With powers that blur the line between fantasy and reality, Lance’s attempts to win her back spark a surreal journey—until Linda’s choice reveals just how much she values the quiet life. Art by Tony DiPreta, lettered by Joe Letterese, with a striking cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia.
In "The Mechanical Man!", Mark Jordan finds himself haunted by a chilling fear: what if his creation, a human-like robot, surpasses him—not just in function, but in purpose? Determined to prevent such a fate, he vows to build only machines that calculate, not think. But when his latest invention begins to show signs of something more, he must confront the line between invention and inevitability.
In a quiet moment over the sink, Joe Ludlow’s shaving cream bottle unleashes Lance Runceford—a genie who bears his exact likeness and claims to help mend Joe’s strained relationship with Linda. With a flicker of magic, Lance offers her the adventure she’s always wanted, but when the extraordinary becomes too much, Linda finds herself longing for something simpler, something real.
