It features complete stories from titles like Captain 3-D, Boys' Ranch, and Stuntman, showcasing Kirby's raw, dynamic style before his legendary Marvel and DC runs. A must for scholars and fans tracing the evolution of a comics pioneer.

With Lora kidnapped and Taylor’s identity stolen, Hayward takes up the chase—only to find unexpected help from the enigmatic cosmic entity Mister Eternity. Written by Curt Davis and illustrated with raw energy by Jack Kirby, this standout issue features Kirby’s dynamic art and inks, with lettering by Jerry Iger and Jack Kirby, and a striking cover by Kirby and Joe Simon.
