#JackedKirby - The Surfer Creates... Quasimodo!!! The Fantastic Four might very well be Jack Kirby's greatest contribution to the comic industry. Not only did it re-launch super hero comics into the modern era, but it has provided us with some of the most memorable supporting characters in comics history. From Galactus to the Inhumans and everyone in between... they all came through the pages of the FF! Silver Surfer is definitely one of those creations. Ever since he first appeared in FF #Issue48 he has been a fan fave, and that spilled over into tons of guest appearances and even his own series. One of the coolest appearances he made was in a back up story in the Fantastic Four #Annual5 from November of 1967. In it he gets a distress call from the Quasimodo computer asking him for assistance. Quasimodo wants to be turned into a human, and he begs Silver Surfer to use his cosmic powers to help him with this request. Silver Surfer is touched by the request and grants it to him... which leads to Quasimodo promptly attacking NYC! He is eventually stopped by the Surfer and turned into a statue atop a clock in Manhattan. The story is a throw away and doesn't have much bearing on the Marvel Universe besides Quasimodo becoming a human being. But some of the art in this small back up story is astounding. Take this full page splash from when Surfer transforms Quasimodo... it is SO POWERFUL! The red background with the black Kirby Krackle... the yellow and orange energy on the transforming Quasimodo... and of course the ever powerful Silver Surfer's shiny white visage overseeing the whole thing! Spectacular. Thanks to @rgleigh for the request. #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #SilverSurfer #Quasimodo #FantasticFour #FF #Annuals #JackAndStan #BackUpFeatures #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #ComicsOfThe60s #60sComics #igcomiccommunity #igcomiccollector #IGComics #ComicsOfIG
