Silver Star: Graphite Edition
(TwoMorrows, 2006)
™ and © 2006 Jack Kirby Estate
Cracking under the pressure of battle in the Vietnam War, U.S. soldier Morgan Miller transforms into a one-man wrecking crew, powered by the cosmic storm in his genes. Earning a Silver Star in the process, he is similarly named by Dr. Hammer who encases his radiating atomic body in a metal suit.
But our hero is not the only specimen of Homo geneticus and must confront his nemesis Darius Drumm, a bloodthirsty misanthrope who seeks revenge upon Morgan’s mad-scientist father and humanity itself. Do Silver Star and his gal, Norma Desmond, have the power to combat the Angel of Death and avert Doomsday?
Kirby adapted his ’70s screenplay, which Pacific Comics published a decade later as a six-issue series, and this collection reprints Kirby’s final comic in his original pencils with a few inked pages. Though Kirby’s style had fallen out of favor at the time, it still pulses with his hallmark energy. However, the story itself isn’t a classic, since it features a wooden Captain American clone surrounded by melodramatic dialogue.
