You don’t have to look far to find Jack Kirby’s most famous works on the shelves at your local comic shop, but the iconic writer-artist still has plenty of work that hasn’t been reprinted in recent times. But luckily, for fans of Kirby’s more obscure work, the visionary’s descendants are working hard to get new versions of titles like Captain Victory out in a comic shop near you.
At San Diego Comic-Con 2026’s Annual Jack Kirby panel, The King’s grandson, Jeremy Kirby, shared an encouraging update about the creator’s lesser-known works.
“We’re working on a bunch of new projects actually now. And hopefully, we’ll be able to announce [them] fairly soon… My favorite character that I would like to bring out to people shortly would be Captain Victory – just an awesome, awesome character. If you haven’t read the books, look them up. Hopefully we’ll have a trade out there for you all soon on it. But just an amazing sci-fi series and I’m very excited to get back up and running,” Jeremy Kirby said.
Captain Victory was the eponymous lead in Kirby’s Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers series published by Pacific Comics beginning in 1981. The series ran for thirteen regular issues and one special through 1984. Currently, you can read a digital “Graphite Edition” of Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers consisting of Kirby’s original, uninked pencils that was compiled by TwoMorrows Publishing.
