“The Human Rocket”

In "The Human Rocket," Jack Kirby's sharp storytelling and dynamic art bring to life a tense, psychological thriller where Butler Michael Renner, haunted by guilt and paranoia, must care for his late employer's cats—only to begin suspecting they’re plotting against him. With Kirby handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and Dick Dillin and Charles Cuidera crafting a striking cover, this 1956 Thorpe & Porter classic delivers a chilling, grounded tale of isolation and creeping dread.
