After the initial burst of one-shots featuring Captain Glory, Bombast, and Nightglider (all derived from Kirby drawings and ideas) the heroes worked together in the Secret City Saga, a four-issue limited series (with an addendum number zero to boot) that chronicled the fate of the Ninth Men. The artwork was by Steve Ditko for the limited with Walt Simonson doing the honors on the zero issue debut. These are old-fashioned superheroics, a lot of fun, but alas they didn't find much of a market. Written by Roy Thomas these stories feel like throwback Marvel tales from the Bronze Age. I still remember this last blast of Kirby brilliance fondly though.
Rip Off
