Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers Special #1
In "The Space Musketeers!", Jack Kirby’s imaginative flair shines as Captain Victory, Klavus, and Tarin are transformed into historical figures and thrust into medieval France, where they’re mistaken for demons and pursued by terrified townsfolk. With Kirby both writing and drawing, and Mike Thibodeaux handling inks, the story unfolds with a bold mix of cosmic adventure and swashbuckling peril, as the Galactic Rangers must rescue Lieutenant Flavia from a fiery fate—while Egghead’s mysterious plan unfolds in the shadow of Notre Dame. The cover by Kirby and Thibodeaux captures the clash of sci-fi and swordplay perfectly.

Cosmic imp Egghead has transformed the crew into versions of figures from Earth's history. When Captain Victory investigates, he, Klavus, and Tarin are drawn to medieval France where they are taken to be demons and hunted by the townspeople. Egghead gives them sanctuary in the Notre Dame cathedral and reveals that he has brought them there to save a damsel in distress and defuse a Q bomb. Egghead takes the outfits from the Three Musketeers and sends Captain Victory and his men off to save Lieutenant Flavia from being burned at the stake. Finally, Egghead disposes of the bomb and himself.
