| An early Kirby work in this one. Even at this point you can see traces of the outfit and monster styles that would become Kirby's stock in trade. |
|
| " SOLAR LEGION " hmmm looks like some prototype Sleestaks on page two waaaaaaaay before "Land Of The Lost" if ya ask me.... |
|
| Jack Kirby never let an idea rest or go to waste.
I believe that 'Solar Legion' was an inspiration for the later 'Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers'
As well as the influences cited here.
