Happy Easter...Island

A happy Easter to all...and even though Easter Island has nothing to do with the holiday, this little cover by Jack Kirby and Christopher Rule, where a man discovers invading aliens on Easter Island from Tales To Astonish #5 (September, 1959), reprinted in Where Monsters Dwell #24 (October, 1973) should make you happy that that is not how you are spending the day.

Happy Easter Captain Carrot

 

A happy Easter to all...and watch out for what's in those eggs!

A warning Captain Carrot and his team needed to heed, as the Zoo Crew scrambled to face the menace of what's in the egg on Easter Bunny Island in Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew #5 (July, 1982) under this cover by Scott Shaw! and Chad Grothkopf.

Happy Easter...Island

Let's celebrate Easter with a little trip to Easter Island!


Trips can be rare, for some, just as rare as Jack Kirby doing work on mainstream DC heroes.



But, Jack did get a chance to work on DC's big guns, first, with the first DC Super Powers  5 issue mini-series, then the second Super Powers mini-series, which lasted 6 issues in 1985/1986, which was written by Paul Kupperberg.

The third issue saw Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Dr. Fate facing the giants of Easter Island!



Best of all, Kirby's two Super Powers series ended up in the Jack Kirby Omnibus #2 of 2013, along with issues of Kirby's 1970s Sandman, Black Magic and 1st Issue Specials with Atlas, Manhunter and the Dingbats Of Danger Street!
