One of the great things about attending comic book conventions, is that we are able to pick up complete sets of comic book series from other dealers that we can buy, read & enjoy, and then list in our eBay store for others to obtain at reasonable prices.
The OMAC (One Man Army Corps) series by Jack Kirby is one that we have never read in its' complete run. With having the complete run now to read at one sitting, it is very interesting on how the 'King of Comics' viewed the Future in this series.
It is one of the strangest comic book series that I have ever read, with views on aging, peace keeping, and other topics that are still talked about today.... the best thing for me was the usual Jack Kirby machinery, of which he was master of drawing !!
I personally rank Jack's Fantastic Four series, (with Stan Lee), as my favorite comic book run of all time, and it is so strange to see what Jack produced on his own after leaving Stan at Marvel. I like several of the Kamandi, Silver Star, and Eternals issues, but this OMAC series is so weird that I don't know what to make of it after reading it all !
If you have not read this series, or missed a few issues, we have them listed in our eBay store at:
Should you have any comments regarding this series or other Jack Kirby Series, feel free to post them here....
