For 15 dollars (and I would have paid twice that) I got 500 pages of story in glorious black and white - no color to distract you from the gorgeous art. The stories are all goofy and full of bizarre aliens and impossible situations, just the kind of craziness that perfectly suited Kirby's massive imagination. Jack Kirby had more talent in his little finger than anyone else who ever drew a comic book. There is a reason they call him THE KING.

It's A SWEET Read

I didn't know they had enough issues of this series to make a whole collection like this. Kirby plus outrageous sci fi adventure comic sounds like the Golden Age of my childhood with Stan and Jack's run on Fantastic Four. I'm going to order this one immediately!
Whenever I loom at contemporary comics I realize how much the industry misses the King.
This volume is on my list too.
It makes me sick that Rob Leifeld even got to be in the same room as the King. Leifeld learned NOTHING being in the great man's prescence.
I loved Kirby on the Challs but can't stand his later work. His art just seemed to vomit all over the page.
