#JackedKirby - A Virus From Space!!! ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Captain America is Jackโs most well known creation, and he has done MANY an issue/story featuring his main character over the years... but the one that he did for Captain America #Annual3 (which was published in January of 1976) is a bit more interesting... and not just for the storyline! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Every single character (beside Cap of course) that appears in this issue was written, drawn and fully created by JACK KIRBY. No other writers... no other artists... no other peopleโs creations... all him. 100%. Might be the first time in Capโs history that this was the case. The early books all featured Joe Simon as a co-creator... and the later versions in the pages of the Avengers and other 60s Marvel titles always had someone elseโs input. But on this one it was all Jack... and it was NUTS!!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ This story has it all: Space Travel, Black Holes, robot combatants, rogue alien pilots, alien vampire life sucking creatures, a battle for the faith of all of earths organic creatures... itโs nuts. But nothing sums the wildness of this story up more then this sequence of pages where the Captive (a marooned alien pilot) transforms into his true form: an organic eating space vampire that wants to kill all the organic beings on Earth... starting with Cap! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Look at the design on this creature! Kirby uses his patent Kirby Krackle to convey the energy that this creature is emoting as if tries to take out Cap... and how the no fear hero fights him off!!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ A beauty of an issue, made better because it is 100% Kirby... and that creature is one for the ages!!! ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #CaptainAmerica #Cap #KirbySpace #KirbyAliens #KirbyOuterSpace #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Annuals #ComicAnnuals #igcomics #igcomicfamily #igcomiccommunity #comicsofinstagram #ComicsofIG #SpaceVampires #Vampires #KirbyMonsters
