Ibis the Invincible was created by Bob Kingett and debuted in WHIZ COMICS #2 in February of
1940. It was published by Fawcett Publications. Ibis would be a regular back up character in
WHIZ COMICS for over a hundred issues.
Ibis was originally Prince Amentep in ancient Egypt. Ibis was given the incredibly powerful magic
Ibistick to wield wisely during his rule. Circumstances forced Ibis and the Ibistick, along with his
partner Princess Tala, to spend 4,000 years in suspended animation. Upon awaking in two separate
museums, Ibis and Tala (of course) decide to dedicate their lives to fighting crime and saving lives.
IBIS THE INVINCIBLE GIANT-SIZE VOLUME ONE collects his stories From IBIS the INVINCIBLE #1-6
and WHIZ COMICS #2 and #7-39. Unfortunately the stories from WHIZ COMICS #3 through 6 are
not public domain and could not be included in this collection. Much of the source materials for
the early Fawcett comics come from low-resolution fiche so not all of the artwork is as clear and
pristine as would be preferred. We are constantly working to update our books in order to have
the best possible images, but in the meantime we hope you will accept these stories in their
imperfect authenticity. In spite of these challenges IBIS THE INVINCIBLE GIANT-SIZE VOLUME ONE
is over 600 pages of Golden Age magic!
