The same art in the lobby at the check-in desk at Magic Leap's Fort Lauderdale headquarters is from a comic that Andy Lanning, co-creator of Marvel's 2008 revamp of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic and now Magic Leap's executive creative director, wrote along with Rony Abovitz back in 2012. Abovitz and Lanning still make frequent trips to Tate's Comics, a fantastic comic store a few minutes up the road from Magic Leap's offices, and Magic Leap's ideas, they explain, sprang from weird comic-book ideas. Even the Magic Leap One's goggle-eyed headset.

I was given a copy of Magic Leap's original 2012 comic by Lanning and Abovitz. I read through it on my flight home from Magic Leap's headquarters after my visit in July. I have the comic book now, sitting in my desk drawer. Here's the story of how the comic relates to the headset, and the company's vision.
