Jack Kirby's Galactic Bounty Hunters was a miniseries published by Marvel's Icon imprint, based on Kirby's unpublished sketches and notes for his Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers series at Pacific in the early 1980s. Kirby's daughter Lisa, along with Michael Thibodeaux (The Last of the Viking Heroes, Phantom Force) developed the concepts into this six-issue series. So yes, Jack Kirby finally got a creator-owned title at Marvel, and the Kirby family gets the royalties from it. It only happened, however, after Jack had passed away. Isn't it ironic? Doncha think?
