Kirby's Best Work After Marvel?

[ChrisInBaltimore]

I've been reading some issues of Kamandi the past week. The book is beautiful to look at, but the story isn't great. It is fun, but it just isn't very polished. I've enjoyed it enough though that I'm curious if there is something even better out there to read.

 

What is Kirby's best work after Marvel?

[gojira]

I like the Demon a lot. It's my favorite Kirby 70's title.

Opinions vary wildly, see for example

Didn't he come back to Marvel after the 4th World DC stuff and did things like Eternals, Devil Dinosaur, Captain America, etc.

 

So do you mean the second time he left?

Absolutely love the Demon series! Although I was burnt on Ebay a while back buying a "NM" 1st issue. Brings back terrible memories!

 

Still some wonderful work

I love the art so much that I purchased a splash page some years ago.

Eternals was another series that was awesome when I read it as an adult!

I like Kamandi myself. I think the story is captivating and fun. It's like Planet of the Apes PLUS !!

That was another good one! Kirby did some great stuff beyond FF.

+1 Probably my favorite DC BA era series. I really enjoyed all the 70's DC stuff from Kirby. Great storyteller.

It's been decades since I've read any of this stuff, but as a kid I far preferred Kamandi and The Demon to the 4th World books.

Same here...decades that is.

 

I could not really get into Kamandi for some reason and in all due fairness probably never gave it a chance however my nods go to Demon and MM

[Jeffro.]

I think Demon might be the best of the bunch. I have a soft spot for Kamandi because I love post-apocalypse settings and stories.

That was my favorite as well with his return to Marvel. Since I liked New gods, kind of makes sense.

 

Machine Man wasn't bad either.

Page of OA from the Demon. Sadly someone in the history of the page trimmed the edges, but still a real nice example of a splash by Kirby.
