    The Kids Present Jack Kirby Month - Jack Kirby's The Losers Part SEVEN

    Welcome to Jack Kirby Month 2026 Celebration on Kirby's Kids! We have a jam packed month of "King" sized goodness planned! Doc and Angus conclude their month long journey into Jack Kirby's The Losers. This is a seven part series which kicked off with an introduction of Our Fighting Forces and The Losers! In Part Seven they conclude their review with Issues 161 & 162 of Our Fighting Forces. The Losers ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/Losers-Jack-Kirby/dp/1401221653/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ In the 1970s, Jack "King" Kirby was hard at work at DC Comics on mind-bending epics including THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, OMAC, and THE DEMON. At the same time, Kirby also created a series of stories that drew on his own experiences in World War II. Starring DC war heroes including Captain Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner and Sarge, this volume features inventive stories in which The Losers stop a German attack using a strategy found in a comic book, German and American athletes who faced each other at the 1936 Berlin Olympics meet again on the field of combat, and much more.
