Devil Dinosaur Collected? Wow!,
By
This review is from: Devil Dinosaur by Jack Kirby (Hardcover)
I bought this book. Now honestly their are other characters much more worthy of this hardcover treatment, but Devil Dinosaur has made a big impression on a lot of fans, so there you have it.
Reading them all together you come to a Jack Kirby story that is more straight forward, less melodramatic, than his New Gods saga, and yet he hits you with cosmic concept after cosmic concept. Rumor was this was a try out for selling a cartoon series, that never came up, but the characters still endure with Devil Dinosaur most recently making an out of character appearance in Nextwave Agents of Hate. My only regret is that they did not include Devil Dinosaur's cross over with Godzilla, though you could catch it in the Essential Godzilla. While I loved the story (bought it off the rack as a kid) I'd say this volume is more for the hardcore Kirby fan; though I think if you are willing to gamble the price you will find it worth while.

Wonder-full,

This review is from: Devil Dinosaur by Jack Kirby (Hardcover)
No, the title of this review is NOT a spelling mistake. Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur #1 is the very first comic I remember owning and I was 3 or 4 at the time it came out. Up until last year (when a friend sent me #1 - 3) I had never read past the cliffhanger ending of issue #1.
This hardcover version fully restores Devil Dinosaur to glory - there are no speckled dots or faded/ yellowed pages here; the book has never looked better. Of course, this has to look fantastic - it's Jack Kirby (who writes the story as well as completing the art)! Now, granted a book about an ape boy and his dinosaur is not what you typically expect from the more cosmic minded Kirby, but there is plenty of other-worldly action here. At it's heart this is really a boy and his dog story set in perhistoric times with an ancient human anscestor and a red Tyrannosaurus Rex-like dinosaur taking the place of the usual characters. The enduring bond between Moonboy and Devil is truly the heart of this tale. There is nothing usual about this book - it's all quirky fun. Devil Dinosaur is every bit as fantastic as I remembered from my youth and now, finally, I get to read the whole story - you should too.

Time to meet Devil Dinosaur and Moonboy,
By
This review is from: Devil Dinosaur by Jack Kirby (Hardcover)
Nothing about this series appealed to me when Marvel first published it. If I noticed it on the comic book spin rack or shelve, I did so only with my peripheral vision.
Marvel published Marvel Monsters in hardcover, and I purchased that collection. The first story featured a fight between the Hulk and Devil Dinosaur. The Hulk has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters, but in this story the love that Moonboy has for Devil Dinosaur made me love these two characters. When I learned that Marvel planned to publish an Omnibus of the entire Jack Kirby series, I immediately made plans to buy it. The Omnibus did not disappoint me. I love the artwork, and I like to watch the way Jack Kirby developed this series. I recommend this to any person that has a love for graphic storytelling. You will enjoy this book as much as I did.
