The coolest comic this month - Devil Dinosaur

The coolest comic book this month has to be Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur, (Marvel Comics, December 2005). Illustrated by The Goon's Eric Powell (with inks by an accidentally uncredited Mark Farmer), and written by Tom Sniegoski with Eric Powell, Devil Dinosaur harkens back to the days of the great late-1970s Marvel Comics and the late, great Jack Kirby. The story begins with two Celestials meddling with the fates of two tribes of primitve humanoids... on prehistoric Earth! Devil Dinosaur is on the side of the weaker, more compassionate tribe, so one of the Celestials calls in a ringer: the Incredible Hulk! Needless to say, much mayhem ensues, all in glorious color by J. D. Mettler. I felt like a kid again as I read this one... I mean, check this two-page spread out:


Holy mackeral, that's some great comical funnybooks! A roller-coaster ride of a read and just an all-around ton of fun! Highly reccommended.

Oh yeah, there's also a backup reprint story of the first appearance of "The Hulk" by Kirby and Dick Ayers from Journey Into Mystery #62 (November 1960). *shrug* It's OK.
