CAPTAIN VICTORY AND THE GALACTIC RANGERS (vol. 1) #`13 (January, 1984). Cover by Jack Kirby.

KIRBY BONANZA – Captain Victory Six Pack

WAREHOUSE FIND!

Here is a collection of six different, new, uncirculated comic books from 1981, 1982 & 1983, all released by the original upstart, four color comic book publisher, Pacific Comics who initiated their challenge to the "Big Two" – Marvel and DC – by publishing the creative genius behind both: Jack Kirby!  The big difference was that both the characters and material contained in these comic books was trademarked and copyright by their creators (NOT the publishers), Jack Kirby first and foremost among them.  (And, as an added bonus, there is a nice backup story by the talented [but largely forgotten] Tim Conrad in #10, the comics parable, "Rainmaker.")

The issues included in this collection are:

CAPTAIN VICTORY and the GALACTIC RANGERS #s 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 & 10 

Original editions of amazing, visually spectacular, and historically significant work!  At this late stage in his career, Kirby was communicating primarily through his imagery and also, crucially,through the image making.  As you read these images you can feel the work pouring out of him onto paper – BAM BAM BAM.

All new copies at not much over their original 1980s cover price.
