We continue the exploration of Death's Head's origins with some family connections, but mostly a man with a gun for an arm being really, really cross.

In 1990, after the ending of his solo series, Death's Head got one final outing at Marvel UK in the hands of his original creators Simon Furman and Geoff Senior in the shape of the graphic novel The Body in Question.

Originally serialised in Marvel UK's short run anthology title Strip, the graphic novel gave the chance for Senior to showcase the full range of his skills, with hand-painted artwork, along with a cover by some DH fanboy called Walt Simonson...

We jump back into the Death's Head solo title, after a lengthy detour into the world of Machine Man. Why? Because that gave me a chance to introduce the guest star of Death's Head's final issue - The Iron Man of 2020.

By Simon Furman and Bryan Hitch (channelling Alan Davis pretty damn hard).

Death's Head officially (although briefly) becomes part of the 616 Marvel universe this issue, after getting a lift there by The Doctor, in his continuing journey to become the Kevin Bacon of geekdom.

This issue, featuring some big name guest stars…

From Death's Head #9 by Simon Furman, art by Geoff Senior (his first time drawing the character he created since the Transformers days) with a cover by guest artist Walt Simonson.

Death's Head issue #8 sees the mechanoid leaving the world of 8162 behind and going on a trip through time (and universes) thanks to Marvel UK having the rights to publish a bunch of different IPs at the time, including the continuing adventures of Doctor Who.

By Steve Parkhouse (writer and inks) and Art Wetherell.

I guess Death's Head #6 could be read either as a parody of such gung-ho military titles as GI Joe or Commando, or as a tribute to them. Probably a little of both, featuring a crack military team of characters with designs so ugly they could easily have been included in the later GI Joe toy line.

Early Liam Sharp on art duty for this issue.

We continue the Death's Head solo title with a comedy of errors meets film noir parody.

Honestly, it's one of the weaker issues, amping humour as it does, and it's a bit too 70s comedy for my tastes, but does have the advantage of John Higgins on art duties.
