This book collects work from a period that a lot of fans overlook in Jack Kirby's long and storied history. And it's their loss- this book collects stories that show the King developing the ideas that he would later to take to Marvel, and revolutionize the work of pop culture with forever. Stan Lee was less a co-creator than the greatest editor -in the truest sense of the word- that the field of comics has ever or will ever see. He took the raw talent of Jack Kirby- a furious one-man idea factory- and shaped it memorable characters and story arcs. But the ideas were Kirby's and Kirby's alone- this book proves that. Jack worked concurrently on the Challengers of the Unknown, which he and Stan later reworked into the Fantastic Four. Buy that volume with this, and see not only Jack burning with ideas and rock-solid draftsmanship, but see the roots of what would become the counterpart of The Beatles in comic books. A must-read not only for the entertaining stories within but for its immense historical value.Read full review
