Rex Devil Dinosaur and his young companion Moon-Boy. As this issue begins, they almost fall into a trap of spikes in a pit laid by the Killer-Folk and their leader Seven Scars.

Moon-Boy is taken to serve as a sacrifice in the cave of Long-Legs.<\/p>\n<p>Devil soon manages to dig himself partially out when he\u2019s confronted by an iguanodon.<\/p>\n<p>A short battle follows, and the victorious Devil uses his sense of smell to track where Moon-Boy has been taken. Moon-Boy is tied up as a sacrifice to a giant spider when Devil bursts in with a burning stick from the flaming forest, rescues Moon-Boy, crushes Seven Scars and forces the rest of the Killer-Folk into the cave of Long-Legs to meet their fate.<\/p>\n<p>It was a rough life back in the dawn of times, and DD was clearly a take no prisoners type. This is a really fun comic, especially the way that Kirby draws Devil, with a lot of personality, and how he emphasizes Devil and Moon-Boy\u2019s mutual loyalty to one another.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.comics.org\/issue\/32267\/#199124<br \/>\nDEVIL DINOSAUR OMNIBUS [2007]<br \/>\nDEVIL DINOSAUR BY JACK KIRBY &#8211; THE COMPLETE COLLECTION [2014]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Devil&#8217;s War&#8221; is a 17-page Kirby story from\u00a0DEVIL DINOSAUR #2 [1978], inked and lettered by Mike Royer, coloured by\u00a0Petra Goldberg. \u201cWere dinosaurs as smart as men?
