Synopsis

A mad scientist develops a miniature effigy of Steve Austin which somehow takes control of the real Six Million Dollar Man.

Indexer Notes

This story incorporates the recently released Kenner action figure based upon the Six Million Dollar Man as the effigy. The final panel includes Steve Austin breaking the fourth wall and promoting the Kenner action figure, Repair Station and Back Pack Radio accessories.

Pevious indexer credited Neal Adams and Joe Rubenstein contributing to the art but Nick Caputo sees no sign of their input.

Indexer Notes

The location where this is set is not stated, but is assumed to be Ojai (by this point established in the TV series) despite the lack of reference to Jaime Sommers. Although the panels are taken from interior art from issue 1, an image of Steve running has been altered, replacing the suit and pants worn in the original with a red jersey and jeans.
