#JackedKirby - Kirby Dynamics.... aka that time Cap killed Red Skull by breaking his back! 💥💥💥 People love to talk about the levels of pure action that drip off the page when Jack is on a comic, but Tommy and I had a recent conversation on one of the latest podcasts (Episode #51 - The Sleeper Saga) that sometimes this intense action might have led to some accidental “murders” by the heroes involved! Take this wonderful page from Tales of Suspense #Issue81 (published in September of 1966). 💥💥💥 The page begins with a fight sequence between Cap and Red Skull, and in that very first panel we get to see some of that “Kirby action” on display with Cap delivering a flying sidekick to Red Skull’s spine from behind!!! As if this back breaking kick wasn’t brutal enough, Cap is furthering the pain by bending Skull’s arm back behind his head, increasing the fierceness and intensity of the kick 10 Fold! 💥💥💥 Now the average comic fan is reading this and loving the anatomically incorrect Kirby fight scene for all its worth... but there is no denying that Red Skull is probably dead after that kick!!! If he isn’t dead, he is definitely wheelchair bound... the brutality of this blow is absolutely insane!!! Cap’s out here killing dudes.... here is my proof!!! 💥💥💥 But in all seriousness, you found insane action packed panels like this in EVERY issue Jack drew... he is just awesome in a way that not many other comic artists could be. He also had a thing for extreme eye close ups (Pic 3 of this post). Look at that intense gaze of the Skull... perfection!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #RedSkull #Cap #CaptainAmerica #KirbyAction #KirbyFightScenes #CapIsAMurderer #KirbyDynamics #comic #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #60sComics #ComicsOfThe60s #thejackedkirbypodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLloOmB5gO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rpefmnh6b6jp
