When I was 12 DC Comics came out with reprints of Gold Age comic book Heros. And Kid Eternity was one of them. Hit Comics 25 this comic was the storie HOW COOL IS THAT!
   By The Australian Panther
As the guy with the pointy ears would say, 'fascinating!' There is a belief that Mac Raboy might have drawn this, and Otto Binder wrote it. And there are definitely some panels that look like Raboy. This has been denied by 'experts.' BUT. Over at Fawcett we have a character who is a young boy who meets a wizard who lives at the Rock of Eternity and gives a young boy a magic word which allows him to call on a number of mythical gods for his powers. So, OK. Here we have a young boy who is taken by a supernatural being to 'the beacon of Eternity' where he speaks the magic word 'Eternity' which allows him to call up mythical and historical characters who help him in his fight against evil. Hmm. Co-incidence? hard to believe. Returning to Mac Raboy and Otto Binder,these guys are Captain Marvel and Marvel Boy alumni. So the possibility that these two might have thought up a variation on the Fawcett formula and pitched it to Quality is not impossible. And 'experts' can be wrong. Further thought. Don't know how the dates gel, but suppose DC has already cancelled Captain Marvel and Fawcett has already decided to fold up its comic business and a couple of the creators get together and say well, if we can't do Captain Marvel, and Fawcett has folded, is there another way we might be able to use those concepts for another company? Certainly, the existence of the character in the first place now makes some sense to me. And why he would be given his own title. Fascinating! .

I don't know about Mac Raboy, some of that fancy shading says Charlie Sultan to me... So DC renamed the Kid Kit Freeman? Freeman, why does that name ring a bell?

Comic StoryThe Origin of Kid Eternity (15 pages)
SynopsisA boy and his grandfather are torpedoed in their boat by a Nazi sub and killed, but when the lad reaches the Pearly Gates, his name is not on the list to die. So Mr. Kepper, who was responsible, brings back the boy's spirit into his body, clapped his hands allowing a ray of light to strike the corpse, and the lad lived again, and was endowed by Mr. Keeper with great powers. By speaking the word "eternity", the boy could call upon any historical person who once lived to aid him in any given situation.
ContentGenre: Superhero | Characters: Kid Eternity (introduction, origin, death, resurrection); Kid Eternity's un-named grandfather (death); Daniel Troop (introduction); Mr. Keeper (introduction); St. Peter; Hercules; Samson; George Washington; Unknown Soldier; Abraham Lincoln; the Nazis (villains)
NotesOtto Binder is credited as writer by Jerry Bails, but Martin O'Hearn disagrees. Originally, while being published by Quality, Kid Eternity had no name and his grandfather pictured also was un-named. It was DC Comics that gave him the name Christopher "Kit" Freeman. So alter ego removed from this listing.
