Eternals by Jack Kirby [The Eternals Omnibus]

Jack Kirby’s original Eternals saga, collected in this 2006 omnibus, introduces Marvel’s cosmic offshoot of humanity—immortal beings created by the enigmatic Celestials. Published by Marvel in the late 1970s, this series showcases Kirby’s signature blend of mythic grandeur and explosive visual storytelling, as he single-handedly wrote and illustrated the entire run. It matters as the foundational work that seeded the Celestials and their Deviant and Eternal progeny into the Marvel Universe, establishing a sprawling, ancient mythology that would echo for decades.
