KID ETERNITY Volume 3

Collects #9-12, 1948.

The supernatural adventures of one of the Golden Age’s most unique heroes. This volume follows Kid Eternity and the Keeper, both ghosts themselves, as they use their extraordinary power to summon legendary figures from history, literature and mythology (Daedalus, Don Quixote, the Spartan Leonidas, Orpheus, and Mademoiselle de Maupin)  to aid him in his quest for justice. With a blend of clever storytelling, moral battles, and a touch of the supernatural, these classic tales showcase the Kid’s imaginative and strategic use of his abilities and famous characters of history to confound evildoers.They even meet a demon from another dimension in a cool story. The Kid died before his time, so the powers that be (?) brought him back so that he could right wrongs in the real world, aided by famous characters from through history. Even the ones you might not recognize, like in this collection, a bare-knuckled boxing champion, famous scientists, and the various figures listed above. It's an offbeat comic for sure. Includes backup stories such of slapstick character Jasper Dewgood, with art by the excellent Paul Gustavson (The Angel, Amazing Man). Featuring meticulously restored artwork and vibrant period charm, this collection is a must-have for comic book enthusiasts and collectors of rare Golden Age treasures.
