New Kirby – Giant-Size Invaders #2

by

Apparently out now, GIANT-SIZE INVADERS #2 is a $5 special with a short new story and several reprints, including the first ever reprint of the S&K Captain America story from ALL-WINNERS COMICS #2 (1941) (the second ever reprint, along with the S&K story from #1 will be in a few months in a Masterworks hardcover).

My own commentary on posts is going to be a bit briefer than normal for the next little while.

This issue of KAMANDI, titled “Killer Germ”, concludes the trip down to South America and the Tracking Site where Ben Boxer and his companions come from. Down there they find giant savage bats, mutant germs and a mental freak. Kamandi also gets to see a tape of Ben Boxer’s father, explaining some of their experiments and how it led to the powers Ben, Steve and Renzi share.

Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth #10 [1973]

This is one of my favourite issues of KAMANDI, with lots of crazy sci-fi and horror concepts, non-stop action and lots of great artwork.

Mike Royer inks the cover and 20-page story.

–Link– DC Stamps (one with Kirby art)

by

GA StampThe US Post Office is releasing some stamps next year featuring DC super-heroes. Among the 20 stamp set is one featuring Green Arrow by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer (taken from the cover of GREEN ARROW BY JACK KIRBY, which was actually a Bulls-Eye image modified to look like GA in the inks).

Apparently 2007 will feature a similar set for Marvel, which should have significantly more Kirby.
