The Jack Kirby Omnibus #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of DC's Jack Kirby Omnibus series collects the King's early 1940s Green Arrow stories from More Fun Comics, showcasing his formative work on the Emerald Archer before his legendary run at Marvel. Featuring Kirby's dynamic art and co-plotting alongside writer Mort Weisinger, these tales introduce classic elements like the Arrowcar and Arrowcave, offering a raw look at the character's Golden Age origins. The collection also includes Kirby's other DC contributions from the same period, such as his work on The Sandman and Boy Commandos, providing a comprehensive snapshot of his pre-Marvel superhero output.
In "The Rocket Lanes of Tomorrow," Jack Kirby’s dynamic art brings to life a mysterious scientific mystery where researchers Saunders and Drake confront an unseen threat in the form of a microscopic creature that devastates their lab. With Kirby handling both pencils and inks, the story unfolds with a blend of early sci-fi wonder and suspense, as the duo tracks the creature’s trail through a strange, half-built town. The cover, a striking collaboration by Kirby and Mike Royer, captures the eerie, otherworldly tone of the tale.
