Comment:	Excellent upgrade to a largely (& unfortunately) overlooked Kirby gem, from the late era of Harvey's expanded line on the verge of their deal to publish books based upon Famous Studios cartoons/ the earliest days of his return to Atlas, drawing all & inking most of the book singlehandedly & likely in the same amopunt of time it would have taken another artist to execute a single book-length story. Berserk fun all-around, from the surrealism of "4th Dimension" to the wacky "Cadmus Seed." And Shades of KAMANDI on that "Last Enemy" tale! Years before "Planet of the Apes"!
