In 1957 and 1958, Jack Kirby created stories for Harvey’s six-issue series Alarming Tales. These hard-to-find comics from the Golden Age showcase Kirby’s early flair for science fiction.
You will see familiar themes like Martians, strange dimensions, conscious robots, and alien worlds. You will witness harbingers of future sciences like genetic engineering and cloning. And, you will see a few ideas Kirby revisited decades later. Behold the walking dogs and rats of “The Last Enemy” who resemble the animalistic characters of Kamandi, and a flying chair that would get an upgrade to seat Metron of the New Gods. Enjoy!

Today we’ll share with you Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s vision of Davy Crockett. Yes, we prefer science fiction and crime stories, but it’s interesting to see the King’s take on an American Western legend. Simon and Kirby collaborated on #31-33 of Western Tales. Supplemental material includes instructions on riding horses and making war rattles, and a piece on the Texas Rangers.
Collector’s Guide: From Western Tales #31; 1955, Harvey Comics.
