"Just ahead lies all the fun and games which Darwin missed" ... So sayeth Jack "The King" Kirby in describing the creative spark behind his enchanting Devil Dinosaur, an alternate-reality fable that recounts what might have happened had humans and dinsoaurs roamed the Earth at the same time - and in typical "King" Kirby fashion, finds the author wondering, "Who says they didn't?" One of his latter-day titles from his final stint at Marvel, Devil Dinosaur's nine-issue run came and went in 1978, going mostly unrecognized for its gritty charm and episodic mythologizing. Seemingly crafted for an audience far younger than the other fare he was generating for Marvel at the time, Jack's grand tale is a prehistoric fable that seems to sell the notion that cooperation, friendship and loyalty were the lights that guided man out of the swamps and into civilization. Putting into play these notions were Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy, brothers bonded not by blood, but rather an uncommon spark of curiosity about their sourrounding world. It was this curiosity - this compulsion to investigate and not take for granted the conventional wisdom of others - that separated them from their peers and put them at the vanguard of evolution. Naturally, the dinosaurs in Devil's world came in many shapes and sizes, from triceratops, pterodactyls, and ankylosaurs to tyrannosaurs rex - Jack draws 'em all! And aside from Devil, Moon Boy finds himself rejected by his Small Folk kin for making friends with a fearsome T. Rex, and bullied by the Killer Folk that try to gain dominance in the forest by force! Devil and Moon Boy's curiosity often leads them into heaps of trouble, but that's where the fun is for readers! Besides the vicious Killer Folk, led by the warlord Seven Scars, the boy and his dinosaur are beset by a host of dinosaurs, giant spiders and armies of enormous ants, and are visited by aliens from outer space! But in the end, it is their friendship and fierce loyalty to each other that manifests itself in courageous heroism that eventually wins the day - and as Jack seems keen to note through subtext, evolves the species! Nearly thirty years after they were first created, this Omnibus edition dusts off the rare and woefully ignored pages of Jack Kirby's wild adventures in a prehistoric land and restores them for a new generation of readers - perfect for any child, or the child within you!
