Jack Kirby 100th Anniversary Special #4
Golden Age Face-off!
Manhunter vs. The Sandman!
by
Dan Didio, Keith Giffen, and Mark Buckingham
Plus - an Etrigan the Demon back-up!
And here we go!
And more words from Evanier.
This was pretty decent, gotta say I like Orion and other Sandman a bit more though.
Next Week:
DARKSEID!
See you then,
Sandman and Orion were my favorites so far.
YES
this is what the king deserves

I fucking love these. Cant wait fmto finally get a hold of some Kirby Etrigan too!
So what's up with Manhunter and why does he look like Manhunter drones?
>>94849493
I figure they reused his design when they decided, like Kirby apparently, that the name was too good to let go of.
>>94849483
Kirby's Etrigan is mighty fun stuff. Wish I had gotten the last printing.
>>94849356
>Sandman and Orion were my favorites so far.
Definitely. One had great ideas and the other...was just a well done character one-shot.
Great stuff, thanks Dave. All the energy of Kirby and the wry humour of Giffen
>>94849653
Poor, poor, Sandy though haha
>>94849514
they're reprinting it again
>>94848773
Bump
>>94848853
>I've got a better idea. You put your kid to bed and we go grab a beer.
Is- is Manhunter hitting on Sandman here?
>>94848964
Fuck, there wasn't rhyme to that, but that was really good.
The paneling was fantastic.
DC keeps bringing out the best in Humphries.
>>94852145
Kirby Etrigan didn't rhyme, but he was also Jason Blood so I guess it just did whatever it wanted.
>>94850708
Yes
>>94849493
>>94849514
Giving him semi-robotic clones in Beware the Batman did not help the comparisons.
this deserves more love
Can someone storytime the Sandman one?
>>94852145
Nice meme, Rude was awesome, Humphries' words sucked.
>>94857301
It's a decent one and done story that could have easily leapt off from the Silver Age. I don't see what you mean, both of the stories in this book were.
>>94857284
Sure.
>>94857392
groovy, very Kirby.
>>94857421
VERY Kirby
>>94857450
oh shit, are those who I think they are?
>>94857478
Yes they are.
This one has proved a crowd pleaser haha.

I have a head-canon that maybe he ran into an old, destroyed Manhunter Drone in the jungle was in and thought it looked pretty cool and modelled himself off it. Or there was some legend of it locally.
>>94857363
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I haven't appreciated this version of Sandman. I like the pulp one and Gaiman's too.
>>94858616
I storytimed it at the start of summer and had a lot of fun with it. The back up story is genius.
>>94853907
The clone thing was from the comics as well. I think that episode was an adaptation of the same story.
