0:00.0 | Hey everybody, this is Rob Lefeld. |
0:04.8 | Welcome to another edition of Rob Zervations, Rob Zervations, where I come at you from every possible |
0:11.8 | angle I can on all of the comic book-related stuff that I love, movies, streaming, cartoons, |
0:18.2 | anime, toys, collectibles, some video games, all of it. We try and cover all of it |
0:24.2 | from when I was a young lad to the old shell I now find myself in. The one constant in my life |
0:33.1 | is my obsession with comic books. And early on in my collecting, I was fortunate enough to come |
0:40.8 | across a comic book called The Eternals. I was seven years old. Jack Kirby had returned to Marvel |
0:49.7 | Comics. He had been away for about five years. when he returned to Marvel just as it was at DC Comics |

1:51.8 | matter because of when I encountered it, because of what it represents to me. When I encountered |
1:57.9 | the Eternals as a kid, I didn't really have an appreciation for who Jack Kirby was yet. |
2:05.0 | His work was familiar to me. |
2:07.1 | At the same time, he is doing one of Marvel's best-selling titles called Captain America. |
2:12.3 | And he has come back to that prior to him launching the Eternals. |
2:16.4 | I'm pretty sure the Eternals is around |
