Race for the Moon #3

In "The Long Long Years," Jack Kirby crafts a haunting tale of isolation and unintended consequence, where Wiley Breck—a man once obsessed with punishing criminals by abandoning them in space—finds himself the ultimate prisoner on a drifting asteroid. Kirby’s stark storytelling, brought to life with his signature dynamism and Al Williamson’s precise inks, unfolds as space explorers discover Wiley not as a monster, but as a man broken by his own creation. The cover, a striking collaboration by Kirby and Marvin Stein, captures the eerie stillness of a man adrift among the stars.
