Makin’ Links # 164

We start out today with a little seen but fun Jack Kirby sci-fi gem from a 1958 issue of National’s My Greatest Adventure. Since the stories in this series were POV tales, this one is entitled I Was Big-Game on Neptune.

More DC Kirby from that same pre-FF period this morning with an early Challengers of the Unknown Showcase appearance in which our four intrepid survivors battle a nifty giant robot called Ultivac.

Sticking with a King Kirby theme, we jump ahead a few years to a heavily illustrated evaluation of a now-classic early issue of Sgt Fury & His Howling Commandos-The Fangs of the Fox.

Finally, just since I typed the above Ten Cent Dreams has updated again with a classic X-Men story featuring Kirby layouts under a great cover drawn by Jack and inked by Wallace Wood!
