Item Description

Considered a 'cult classic' by Kirby fans, DEVIL DINOSAUR was an enormous, crimson colored _Tyrannosaurus_-like theropod dinosaur. Here he is in his very first appearance, in the first of a nine-issue run (each issue scripted and paencilled by Kirby), along with his inseparable ape-like friend, MOON-BOY, whom Kirby considered the First Human!

In the Valley of the Flame, MOON-BOY recalls how he met DEVIL DINOSAUR, whose mother and siblings had perished at the hands of the Killer-Folk . They had used their torches to turn DEVIL DINOSAUR's skin-color from green to red. A volcano erupted and sent them fleeing and MOON-BOY lead DEVIL to a stream where the pain from his wounds subsided.

They became close, and MOON-BOY brought his new 'brother' to his people, the Small-Folk. The Small-Folk were frightened of DEVIL, however, and fled at the sight of him, leaving the pair of friends alone against the world. MOON-BOY was unaware that the Killer-Folk were plotting to rid the Valley of the red dinosaur by constructing a large staked pit and setting fire to the entire valley to drive DEVIL DINOSAUR to attack them!

This is a handsome copy of a 43-year old title, with a strong binding, supple pages, glossy covers and no apparent defects or blemishes. There are no ragged edges, just mildly worn corners, with a bit of a mild crease at the lower right of the front cover. We're grading it at a 8.0 VF , and we're going to beat Overstreet's valuation and offer it to you for just $21 making it the least expensive DEVIL DINOSAUR #1 on HipComic! And paired with our always-L•O•W shipping, it absolutely can't be beat!!

(And remember - no extra shipping charge for additional purchases!)
