Are you ready for the World That’s — Over?!? That’s right, after eight classic issues, Jack Kirby brought OMAC to an end on a screaming cliff hanger. So, as a bonus to you, here is an eight-page Jim Starlin story that wraps up that cliff hanger and begins a new story. Too bad Jim Starlin didn’t stay on the series for long — it looks like he might have done the King proud! The OMAC back-up feature lasted ten issues in Warlord in 1980. Jim Starlin later got another chance for a Kirby tribute when he wrote and drew The Death of the New Gods in 2007.

In the first issue of OMAC, we met Buddy Blank, a man in the future. He worked in a factory that created artificial lovers for lonely men and women. This masterwork arose purely from the vivid imagination of Jack Kirby… Or did it?!
All the Kirby biographers and OMAC experts fail to mention this short story from EC Comics: Made of the Future. It features Alvin Blank, a man who travels to the future and procures an artificial wife. Al Feldstein’s signature appears on this tale from 1951, twenty-three years before the first issue of OMAC!
Collector’s Guide: From Weird Science #5; EC Comics, 1951. Reprinted by Russ Cochran/Gemstone. Dig the Weird Science Hardcover edition, and other Weird Science reprints available.
