Episode 52 - Jack Kirby’s Space Odyssey with comic book publisher Eli Schwab (part 1)

Marvel Comics legend and trailblazer Jack Kirby is known for his work with Joe Simon and Stan Lee, creating Captain America, The Fantastic Four, Thor, The Hulk, The Silver Surfer, and countless other unforgettable superheroes. But in the 1970s, he also created a comic book adaptation (and continuing series!) based on 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Who better to cover this mysterious and little-seen dimension of the Odyssey series than comic book artist and publisher Eli Schwab, who is both a diehard Kirby and 2001 aficionado!

From floating monoliths to the innermost thoughts of the Star Child, this wildly imaginative and bold retelling of our beloved Odyssey is part space adventure, part philosophy...and all Kirby.

Plus: Harlan Ellison, prehistoric witches, and X-51 The Machine Man.
