The Eternals Omnibus

Plot

"The return of the king! Jack Kirby's name resonates across the entire history of American comic books, from the industry's beginnings to the pulp publishing world of the 1930's all the way to the creative explosion of the 1980's and '90's. For more than five decades the King of Comics blazed a trail that generations of comics creators would follow, ceaselessly innovating and exploring new avenues of graphic narrative. By the 1970's, Kirby had finished his legendary run at Marvel and brought his promethean energies to DC Comcis, where he unleashed the cosmos-smashing mythology of the Fourth World. Not content to rest on his laurels, however, he continued his restless experimentation with the comics form, both on his own and in collaboration with others. The results ranged across subjects and genres, from the post-psychedelia of The Sandman to the archetypal team-ups of Super Powers, with plenty of detours into the weird and uncanny along the way. Now, for the first time, these late period masterpieces have been collected here in a single hardcover edition - over 600 pages from one of the medium's greatest masters, together with an insightful introduction by Kirby historian and publisher John Morrow."--Page 4 of cover.
