Marvel celebrates 50 years of Jack Kirby's Eternals with a new one-shot special

- STEPHEN JEWELL

RALPH MACCHIO ONCE controversially (and unsuccessfully) suggested in a letters column that the Eternals should exist in an alternate timeline after the godlike superhumans' cosmic adventures first appeared in 1976, in order to give writer/artist Jack Kirby's imagination "free rein". Now, five decades later, the former Marvel Comics Executive Editor and artist Michael Cho are chronicling the origin of Deviant Ransak the Reject - a member of the Eternals' monstrous adversaries - as part of a new one-shot commemorating Homo Immortalis' 50th anniversary.
