(Dec., 1989) "Recurring
Knightmare." Cover art:
Bob Layton. Script:
David Michelinie. Art: Bob Layton.
Double-sized anniversary issue which follows Doc
Doom and Shellhead
to....the future!! Specifically, it is the year 2093, and a pre-teen King
Arthur is behind the previous issue's
artifact's machinations! There's treachery afoot in this supposedly serene
future -- evil versions of IM
and Doc Doom
are plotting an overthrow of the planet! See: Andros Stark,
grandson of Arno (IM 2020),
who is one nasty dude! See: the current Doc
Doom -- still alive, but almost completely a
machine! Layton, who is usually better as an inker, does an outstanding job as
both artist and inker here -- his IM 2093
is brutal, and Bob sure makes him appear that way!
Hube's Recommendation:   
1/2 repulsors!
