PART TWO Of KIRBY'S VICTORY...

Copyright relevant owner

As noted in part one, CAPTAIN VICTORY & The GALACTIC RANGERS lasted for thirteen issues and one Special.  I have the first three plus the Special, so that only leaves ten issues I need to complete the set.  Trouble is, the issues I've read simply failed to maintain my interest, due to JACK KIRBY's fading abilities not only in his art, but also in being able to make characters speak in a realistic manner.  True, the latter had never been his strong point anyway, but either he had got worse or I'd become harder to please.  Either way, it made reading his later works a bit of a chore rather than the pleasure his earlier mags had been.

So, it's highly unlikely I'll ever bother trying to complete the set - unless I manage to obtain the remaining issues for am absolute song or they're issued in an inexpensive collected edition.  Incidentally, on the covers, note that it says 'the' Galactic Rangers, yet on the splash pages it's 'his' Galactic Rangers.  Why the difference I wonder?

However, Crivvies, don't let me spoil your fond recollections of these issues if you happened to have them back in the day.  Just immerse yourself in the images which now follow and lose yourself in the past of thirty years ago.
