Kid Eternity 1-16 (1993 Vertigo series)

KID ETERNITY


About the character

"Kid Eternity, a Quality Comics character created in 1942 by Otto Binder and Sheldon Moldoff for Hit Comics magazine, is a young man killed aboard his grandfather’s boat in a U-Boat torpedo strike; “Kid” follows his grandfather to heaven, but is promptly told he is seventy-five years early, and that he isn’t due for death. Upon returning to the Earthly plane, Kid starts fighting evil criminals using his powers of intangibility, invisibility, and (not making this up) raising dead historical figures from their graves to help in superhero battle."

Modern incarnation

"In the 1990s, a different and darker version of the character was introduced. This was done with a three-issue mini-series written by Grant Morrison with art by Duncan Fegredo in 1991. This version returned the Kid to his nameless roots and severed ties with the Marvel Family. While it kept most of the original continuity intact, it also made some significant changes to the character's back story."

About the series in this torrent:

"When DC began their mature-readers Vertigo imprint, they went back to Kid Eternity, with a new series written by Ann Nocenti with art by Sean Phillips. This series quickly moved away from the continuity established by Morrison, and instead focused on the everyman qualities of the character. It lasted 16 issues (May 1993 - September 1994)"

This torrent includes the 16 issues plus the Vertigo Jam short story published in August 1993.
