Kirby Draws The Iliad -- Jack Kirby's Boy Commandos Fight the Trojan War!

From Boy Commandos #3 in the summer of 1943 comes this stunning Jack Kirby comic book epic featuring his Boy Commandos and the Siege of Troy!

Joe Simon and Jack Kirby must have realized how ridiculous this anachronism was, so right up from that ask the reader to... "stretch your imagination...to imagine that Rip Carter and his gallant Boy Commandos were living in the days of other great crusaders for freedom...to imagine for example that they were fighting at The Siege of Troy!"

It may be a goofy idea, but what the heck...
it's Jack Kirby drawing the Iliad!

There's lots of amazing battle scenes in this comic!

This kind of epic battle of gods and men
is the stuff Kirby was best at!

You can tell Kirby's having a lot of fun drawing this one!
