Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1976 as part of their 10-issue adaptation of the Stanley Kubrick film, this series was notable for being written and drawn by Jack Kirby. Marvel secured the rights to the film to capitalize on the prestige of the source material, though Kirby utilized the license as a vehicle to expand his own cosmic mythology, incorporating his 'Machine Man' character into the narrative rather than providing a literal retelling of the movie.
Jack Kirby’s approach to the adaptation favored his signature dynamic style, characterized by dense layouts and imaginative, high-concept science fiction imagery. While the series was a departure from the atmospheric, slow-burn tone of the 1968 film, it was received as a fascinating curiosity of 1970s comic art, standing as a significant project in Kirby's post-DC career upon his return to Marvel.
