Jack Kirby’s Eternals are celebrated in the new Eternals 50th Anniversary One-Shot comic this April.
The Celestial-size comic will feature three new tales from Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump, Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, Dale Eaglesham, Phil Noto, Ralph Macchio, and Michael Cho.
The three stories will focus on Ikaris and Captain America’s first team up in World War II, the dark backstory of the Eternal’s deviant comrade Ransak the Reject, and one profiling the mysterious lost Eternal.
“It’s fitting that Marvel’s version of God, its One-Above-All, was drawn in the likeness of Jack Kirby. Through his cosmic work on titles like TALES OF SUSPENSE, FANTASTIC FOUR, THOR, and climaxing with his mythologically inspired space opera THE ETERNALS, he created the center of gravity all of Marvel’s galaxy is still orbiting” Stump said.
“Jack Kirby was a big influence of mine, and I devoured just about everything he did when I first discovered comics,” Editor Mark Paniccia shared. “The Eternals was one of my favorite Kirby creations… wild, dynamic, powerful stuff that fueled my imagination as a young reader. It’s a real privilege to work on this project with such a talented crew.”
