...Ilongo Savage, piloting Dangard Ace, tries to divert a recently-hatched alien from heading for populated areas.
But, the creature has some hidden surprises...

Oh, wait...I did say it...)

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Starchild" Part 1
When Last We Left Oceanographer (and Dangard Ace's Pilot), Ilongo Savage...
...he and fellow oceanographer Judith Johns had discovered an alien egg!
(And yes, Easter was yesterday, but this ain't a holiday treat!)







You'll see Dangard Ace take on the Starchild Next Monday...
...when the first thing you see will be this calamitous cover by Herb Trimpe and Al Milgrom!
The latest never-reprinted chapter in this story arc from Marvel's Shogun Warriors #9 (1979) is by usual stalwarts writer Doug Moench, penciler Herb Tripe, and guest inker Jack Abel!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder MAN-GODS FROM BEYOND THE STARS Conclusion
In the far-distant past...
...technologically-advanced aliens visit the Earth on a missionof exploration.
Their mandate is to observe, but not interfere.
In the present (1975)...
...scientists discover ancient cave paintings that tell of god-like beings who came down among the primitive humans.
But, the paintings don't tell the whole story, for the aliens are far more human than even they suspect!
Were an Alien Father and Neanderthal Mother the Parents of the First Cro-Magnon?
This tale, written by Doug Moench, illustrated by Alex Nino was likely a "pilot" for an ongoing series, but, due to Jack Kirby's return to Marvel with his similarly-themed Eternals, this ended up being merely an all-but-forgotten one-shot!
Here's a short feature listing both the books produced by Von Däniken and various related books movies and TV shows up to time of publication in 1975!
In Two Weeks:
The other (besides Jack Kirby's Eternals) comic series based on all this mishigas!

Next Wednesday: The Conclusion!
Written by Doug Moench, illustrated by Alex Nino. this tale from Marvel Premiere #1 (1975) has never been reprinted!
As we said last week, When Jack Kirby returned to Marvel in 1975, while he did take on writing and illustrating two of his greatest co-creations, Captain America and Black Panther, his new projects (Eternals, Machine Man/Mister Machine, and Devil Dinosaur, were all set firmly outside the Marvel Universe, as was the one-shot Silver Surfer graphic novel Kirby and writer Stan Lee produced (which you can read HERE),often referring to Marvel characters as fictional,
All that went by the wayside, when Kirby left Marvel to do animation design for Hanna-Barbara and Ruby-Spears along with his own independent comics projects.
It appears the Marvel creatives couldn't wait to incorporate the new characters and within months, all of Kirby's characters were guest-starring in various titles including Thor, Hulk, Ka-Zar, and even What If?, firmly integrating them with links to everyone from the Norse and Greek gods to Thanos himself (who was retroactively made the son of two Eternals).
