Dwayne sent me a scan of the cover for Kinetic Comics #3, one of the issues he picked up at the convention in San Diego last summer. (Turns out the reason I couldn't find any issues was because Dwayne showed up a day early and cleared out the CK stuff! And he said he was only interested in "Sugar and Spike!")
Well at least he shares the wealth. I think Kathy learns his secret identity and feels ashamed that she ignored Lyle Holloway all those years. By the end she forgets and everything turns back to normal. Talk about excitement! ;-)
This doesn't look like a Geddes cover, which is strange because it's such an early issue and he did all the artwork in the beginning. Then again, I haven't seen a lot of his close-up stuff, so maybe I'm wrong. (Cap sure looks restrained here, doesn't he?)
David Brady sent a scan of a Kinetic Kid (!!) drawing he bought on the cheap at a flea market. Although I'd dearly love to believe it's a real Kirby, I have to be a little skeptical. But, oh, wouldn't it be fantastic if it were real? Keep those clippings coming! More Captain Kinetic sites are popping up all the time, and I want to make sure this one stays the best!
Claire Montano from Minneapolis, MN sent me this panel scan from Kinetic Comics #21! Thanks Claire! I think the art is by Harry P. Geddes, but Claire's not sure because her copy is missing the credits page. Anyone know for sure? (Overstreet doesn't even list Kinetic Comics, so they're no help.)
Our first official bit of C.K memorabilia! This is a Captain Kinetic poster from 1966, sent in by Tom Purrenhage of Mud Falls, Oregon. I don't know if this was an Elliptine-related item, but I'd gather it was since there weren't any Captain Kinetic comics being published at that time. If it's not... maybe it was an attempt at a revival? (Note that, true to the angst-ridden style of the day, he's not smiling.) Thanks, Tom!! (P.S. That's how the logo's supposed to look, Mike!)

A picture by Davey Cenko, age 6. Way to go, Davey! (added 8/14/00)
Another "modern" Captain Kinetic from Mike. (added 8/5/00)
Here's one from Mike Franzese (that's a link to his freelance Art Director for hire website) that I used for the navigation bar of this site. The logo isn't right (even though it looks cool). He said it's like a "What If Captain Kinetic was around today" kinda thing. I did the coloring. (added 8/5/00)
Here's my attempt at drawing Cap. (added 8/5/00)
