"Toxl" is visually the best of those, with some great images, including one of the best two-page spreads I think Kirby ever did. Lot's of amazing action in here, with the story of Toxl, the leader of a primitive tribe leading a rebellion against a group of technologically advanced conquerers. A little bit of a strange story, but lots of fun to read.
A JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR article on SPIRIT WORLD, including a pencilled page from this story and comments by Mark Evanier is availablehere.
This issue also includes a two page article by Kirby on the topic of UFOs, "They're Still Up There", illustrated with four Kirby collages. Fun enough, although I always thought that Kirby's collages looked to be too much work for stuff he could more effectively do with a pencil, and were never done enough justice by the mediocre printing of the era.
