Despite my love for Jack Kirby, and its role in opening the door for alternative publishers to rival Marvel and DC, and for royalties and creator rights...



CAPTAIN VICTORY (Pacific Comics)

...definitely makes the cut.

A 1950's-style alien invasion series, but with a cast of characters more suited to a Saturday morning cartoon, and with art from a Jack Kirby that was sadly beyond his prime.

Some nice pages here and there, but definitely for a readership nostalgic for Kirby's 1970's work, and not easily appreciated by new readers who were not already fond of Kirby based on his previous work from better days.
