Everyone loves comic book trivia, but with decades of comics behind, there’s always some new obscure fact to learn. That’s why ComicsAlliance is going deep into the minutiae of your favorite names in comics in our continuing video series. You think you know comics? Well, here’s a few things you might not know!

This week we're taking a look at the denizens of the hidden city of Attilan, the Inhumans! The Inhumans were one of Jack Kirby's earliest (but not the earliest, as this video will show) takes on the concept of an advanced civilization that was the result of tampering by ancient astronauts, which would have later have thematic echoes with the New Gods, but be reiterated more fully with the Eternals. Marvel has been pushing the Inhumans to much greater prominence in recent years, and setting aside any cynical interpretations of why that might be, this move has brought previously background characters to the foreground. If you find yourself wanting to know more about this mysterious civilization, this video is for you.
