Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1977, the series was written and illustrated by Jack Kirby as a grand adaptation and expansion of the Stanley Kubrick film. Marvel secured the rights to the property, but rather than simply retelling the movie, Kirby utilized the series to introduce his own expansive cosmic mythos, including the debut of Machine Man, who would go on to become a staple of the Marvel Universe.
Issue number 9 continues the arc of X-51, the sentient robot known as Machine Man, as he attempts to integrate into human society while being hunted by the military. Kirby's work on this title is highly regarded for its singular, kinetic artistic style, which stood in stark contrast to the more grounded aesthetic of the original film. While the series only ran for ten issues, it remains a significant touchstone for fans of Kirby's late-period cosmic storytelling.
