Description: Lot: 1 x Key Issue Comic Book 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1976 Marvel)#1 Newsstand (1976 Bronze) Mid Grade Range • Series based on the movie by Stanley Kubrick Synopsis:The story is based on the novel by Arthur C. Clarke and the film by Stanley Kubrick, but is purely Jack "King" Kirby doing what he does best - making wild cosmic tales that explode off the page. The connection to the films is through the monolith and Kirby does his best to fill in the blanks of the film with a lot more action than was ever connected to the franchise, but really just used this The issue starts in the distant past where the monolith instructs a hunter on how to craft a spear and then shifts to the future where two astronauts discover an alien ruin. One of the astronauts is killed by a creature, but the other, Woodrow Decker, is transported into a pastoral countryside by the monolith.
