Description

The layout may be Trimpe, but the art style is unmistakably BWS. In this sequence near the start of a four part mini-series, we meet madame Sunset Bain, electronics magnate, speaking to a hidden robot (revealed soon as Jocasta), lamenting her lost youth. She's trying hard (too hard) to look youthful with her short skirt, styled hair, and fashionable 80s earrings, but is forced to hide her baggy eyes behind sunglasses.

Bain had been introduced by Tom DeFalco and Steve Ditko in Machine Man #17 (1980). This sequel mini-series (1984) by DeFalco went forward to the year 2020, hence the older Bain. It was re-released in 1994 as Machine Man 2020. Then in the actual year 2020, Marvel released a Christos Gage series also entitled Machine Man 2020, but I have seen it listed as 2020 Machine Man. It was part of the "Iron Man 2020" event.
