Where it came from
Published in 1976 as part of Marvel Comics' adaptation of the Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke film, this series was written and illustrated by Jack Kirby. Kirby, seeking a project that allowed him to explore grand, cosmic concepts without the constraints of existing superhero continuity, pitched this ambitious adaptation to Marvel. It served as a vehicle for his interest in evolution, mythology, and the vastness of space.
This fourth issue continues the adaptation's sprawling narrative, reflecting Kirby’s signature dynamic art style and imaginative layouts. While the series was a notable experiment in bridging high-concept science fiction with the comic medium, it received mixed reactions from fans of the original film, as Kirby’s distinct, kinetic interpretation differed significantly from the deliberate, atmospheric pacing of Kubrick’s cinematography.
