The The Eternals #1 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of the Eternals and Ikaris, cover-dated July 1976, written and drawn by Jack Kirby on his return to Marvel. It launched one of Kirby's most ambitious late-career cosmologies.
How to identify it
The Eternals #1, July 1976, by Jack Kirby. Confirm the 1976 series: Marvel has published several later Eternals volumes, each with its own #1.
Common mistakes
Later-volume #1s being sold at 1976 prices. The Kirby art and the 25-cent cover price are the quickest confirmation of the original.
Grade considerations
A mid-70s book with heavy black cover areas that show handling and spine ticks readily. Centering and cover gloss set the ceiling on most copies.
