Description

Production Art, inked paper and old photostats on photographic paper, the Challengers of the Unknown by Jack Kirby 1958 THE MENACE OF THE ANCIENT VIALS.

" �The Menace Of The Ancient Vials� is a 24-page Jack Kirby story featuring the Challengers of the Unknown, first published in SHOWCASE #12 [1958], the last of four SHOWCASE issues of the feature, which led directly to the on-going Challs series a few months later. Kirby would continue to draw the series for eight issues for an even dozen issues. In the through-line of Kirby�s career it�s an interesting link between the kid gang books of the 1940s and some of the super-hero teams of the 1960s. It was written with Dave Wood, and I think at one time or another it�s been credited to every inker who worked on Kirby�s work in that era. DC�s opinion in recent reprints seems to be George Klein.

Pretty fun see this Golden age Kirby production art and the adventure team of four that would be used again later for Marvel.
