Greetings, Groove-ophiles! With Astonishing Tales #31's (May 1975) "Twice Removed from Yesterday!" the Deathlok series is really starting to hit its stride. It looks great and seems to have found a direction. Unfortunately, most likely due to deadline pressures, the feature is a scant 10 pages, forcing a partial reprint/fill-in, but packing in a lot of story with its six-to-nine panel pages. Inker Klaus Janson is back, but it's scripter Doug Moench's final ish. Buckler's the real star here, though, with his plotting and innovative storytelling. And dig that Ed Hannigan/Bernie Wrightson cover!
