#JackedKirby - Happy 79th Bday Mike Royer!!! πππ Happy 79th Bday to one of Jack Kirbyβs best (and also rumored to be one of his personal favorite) inker Mr Mike Royer!!! πππ Mike did some amazing work with Jack on his DC runs (I personally love his inking on The Demon, pic 2 here) and he followed him back to Marvel where he did a bunch of Jackβs stuff upon the Kingβs return. πππ I also included a few other personal faves of mine, a two page spread from Weird Mystery Tales (pic 3) and the cover of 2001 #issue10 which I love so much! πππ Pic 1 is Jack with Royer at the 1975 San Diego Comic Con.... he is so young! Pics 5/6 are Tommy and Mike meeting Mike at the Big Apple con a few years back. It was an honor! πππ Mike is the consummate pro, not only by be an amazing inker but by also lettering and pencilling himself. He also had a very long career working for Disney designing retail packaging and stock art for use on everything you can imagine. I actually own a piece of his Winnie the Pooh original art (itβs at the framer... this is Mike!) and has some amazing stories of his 50 years in the biz! Happy bday Mike!!!! Hopefully we will have you on the Jacked Kirby podcast soon! πππ #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MikeRoyer #Inker #HappyBirthday #79YearsOld #DC #Marvel #Comics #Comic #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicOfIG #SDCC1975 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCe7cYhZaJ/?igshid=kb98awfcgkxu
