2001, A Space Odyssey #2

"Vira the She-Demon!" delivers a striking blend of primal myth and cosmic wonder, written and illustrated by Jack Kirby in this 1977 Marvel classic. In a story that spans millennia, Vira’s discovery of the Monolith ignites her ambition to rule her tribe, while in the distant future, another woman named Vera is transformed by the same mysterious artifact into a living seed of the cosmos. The dynamic artwork by Kirby, with inks by Mike Royer and colors by Janice Cohen, brings both ancient and far-flung visions to life, while Joe Sinnott’s cover pencils and inks capture the eerie grandeur of the Monolith’s influence.
