*Marvel: Following his 1976 return to Marvel, the legendary Jack Kirby was anxious not to get trapped in the cycle of just illustrating super-heroes again, and one of his conditions was that he would be allowed to write and draw his own concepts. How much of the Eternals concept was his is, politely, open to debate; heavily ‘influenced’ (ahem, ahem) by the popular Erich Von Daniken paperbacks, which asserted that mankind’s ancient ‘Gods’ were alien visitors, Kirby’s Eternals postulated the return of ancient immortal extraterrestrials, and the cataclysmic repercussions for humanity. Originally intended to stand apart from the Marvel Universe, it was shoehorned in at editorial insistence, which resulted in Kirby eventually abandoning the strip mid-story. Now, however, there is rumour of an Eternals movie in the making, and prices have to started to peak. This copy of Eternals #1 is a superior glossy VF+ copy, no pence mark or overprint, on sale at £60. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
