“Devil Dinosaur and Moon-Boy”
★ 1st appearance — Devil Dinosaur★ 1st appearance — Moon Boy

In "Devil Dinosaur and Moon-Boy," Jack Kirby introduces a fierce red Tyrannosaurus Rex and his loyal human companion Moon Boy in a tale of survival and brotherhood. As Devil Dinosaur defends the Valley of Flame from the Triceratops known as Thunder-Horn, the story unfolds with quiet moments of memory—revealing how Moon Boy once saved the young dinosaur after his family was slaughtered by the Killer Folk, their fiery red skin a mark of tragedy. Kirby’s dynamic art, enhanced by Mike Royer’s inks and Petra Goldberg’s bold colors, brings this prehistoric world to life, while Frank Giacoia’s cover captures the raw power of the duo.

Moon Boy watches his protector Devil Dinosaur (a red Tyrannosaurus Rex) defend his valley (called the Valley of Flame) from "Thunder-Horn" (Triceratops). He defeats him by knocking him off a cliff. After the battle, Moon Boy reminisces about first meeting Devil, when Devil was a baby and the sole survivor of his family being massacred by the Killer Folk (brown furred cavemen). Fires from a nearby volcano had turned Devil's skin red, and Moon Boy nursed the wounded Devil back to health with the two becoming brothers. Meanwhile the Killer-Folk have a new leader and plan on destroying Devil.
