Imagine a race of immortal beings possessed with seemingly limitless superhuman abilities. Once worshipped as gods, this fantastic group left Earth to explore the stars after warring with the Greek, Roman and Norse pantheons for supremacy over humankind.

Their opposites - the Deviants - also secretly populate Earth, while the towering cosmic entities that created both - the Celestials - are fated to arrive and judge our planet.

Now, Kirby''s ETERNALS epic is collected, complete, in this single volume. Collecting: The Eternals (1976) 1-19 & Annual (1977) 1
