Kalibak is rampaging through Metropolis and Dan Turpin is determined to stop him on his own.

Terrible Turpin isn’t taking any crap from these “Weirdies”.

Turpin used to fight the “Ratzis” with the Boy Commandos back in the day, so fighting monsters isn’t anything new.

Lightray: "We've just hit you with the combined energy output of an entire CITY!"

Kalibak: "'Tis but a flesh wound!"

Say what you will, Kirby could make a fight feel incredibly kinetic.

I'm actually surprised that regular guys were the deciding factor in this fight.

Man, I love Dan Turpin. Rarely has a self-insert character been so delightful.

Really fascinating to see Kirby embracing the grotesque in this phase of his art. Some of those faces are hard to look at, but somehow in a really effective way.

I do believe a man can fly via machine gun!
