Story
Oxygen ignites Dr. Phineas Horton’s android. Yet flames don’t consume it. Dr. Horton hungers for money and fame, but the android seeks a higher purpose. Discovering that he can fly, he takes inspiration from a public hero. But what happens when he learns that his hero doesn’t exist? Mark Waid’s compelling story in Marvel Age #1000 draws on 1930s pop culture and an enduring children’s story that honors Marvel Comics’ Timely origins.

Art
Artist Alessandro Cappuccio’s shifting viewpoints and period interior furnishings evoke film noir and the pre-television age. Android Jim Hammond gets frustrated by things he doesn’t understand and angered by injustice. Colorist Mattia Iacono makes everything clear and easy to see in this tale that only lightens when understanding dawns.
