Deathlok in New York, 1993

 Deathlok in New York, 1993

Captain America No. 286, October 1983

This issue of Captain America features a brilliant cover by artist Mike Zeck and inker John Beatty.

It kicked off a three-issue story arc that had Captain America travelling to the future - to the New York City of 1993, to be exact. However, because it's the New York City of Deathlok's timeline, it's not exactly a presentable place.....as the first two pages of the issue made clear in an entertaining display of black humor...........

Even with the more loosened Comics Code of the early 80s, this was edgy stuff........

(The complete 'Captain America: Deathlok Lives' saga can be acquired in the 2014 trade paperback Deathlok the Demolisher: The Complete Collection).
