American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Devil Dinosaur! Complete 1978 Series by Jack Kirby
*Marvel: Devil Dinosaur was created in response to rumours that DC was working on an animated series featuring Kirby’s Kamandi. Marvel attempted to one-up their competitor by instructing Kirby to create a series similar to Kamandi, but incorporating a dinosaur co-star, since dinosaurs were hugely popular with young audiences of the time. The resulting Devil Dinosaur series lasted only nine issues, and the proposed animated series never entered development. Originally, Devil and his ape-like humanoid chum, Moon-Boy, had adventures in Dinosaur World, represented as a parallel Earth, but subsequently they were integrated into mainstream Marvel continuity, and even today, a version of Devil co-starred with child genius Moon Girl in a recent series. We have the complete original run of Devil Dinosaur, all nine issues, newly in stock, all cents issues (never distributed in the UK), in high grades. Issue #1 NM is £55.
