Synopsis: Scientists test war killer, who is wired to

he sees Guinea Pigs everywhere.
Comment: Corben moved his B&W artwork into computer (Son
of Mutant World version) and got messy result - images have
not enough resolution. He puts even story's texts into tonal image file
and made them messy too. In (Heavy
Metal)
color version art and texts are in separate files, which makes outlook
clear; Beth Corben's colors make artwork even more clear (she
adds more details into it). They solve also resolution problem.
In the end of color version, there is a ad of Corben Studios.
Story by Richard Margopoulos is bellow average.
Technique: To add some tones and models he was using
computer softwares Image Studio and Digital Darkroom [revieled in Horror
in the Dark #1 (1991)].
