Race for the Moon

Jack Kirby and Bob Powell brought the Space Age to Harvey Comics with this three-issue series, a breathless adventure strip that launched in 1958. Following a daring crew of astronauts racing to plant a flag on the Moon, the comic captured the era's optimism and anxiety about the final frontier. Though short-lived, it stands as a vivid, early example of Kirby's cosmic imagination before his legendary work at Marvel, blending Cold War urgency with pure pulp excitement.
