#JackedKirby - A Neanderthal... Kirby Style!!! One of the coolest things about Kirby’s 70s series for both DC & Marvel has to be his best is constantly bending genres within the confines of the books. Like Devil Dinosaur is supposed to be a prehistoric title and Kirby sprinkles in Aliens, or how Black Panther is supposed to be a jungle action adventure book that is infused with gangsters in pinstripe suits looking for treasures.... it’s an interesting knack that Jack figures out to weave very interesting storylines into each title. Take for example this issue of the Demon. #Issue3 of the Demon (published November of 1972) is firmly set in the horror genre, with a hideous demon of hell as the main character and occult madness galore. But this issue features out of time cavemen, mind controlling madmen and dinosaurs... all@done in Kirby’s unique stylings! This Neanderthal caveman opens the issue on the opening splash page. You don’t necessarily KNOW that it’s a caveman out of time... but it is abundantly clear that he is far from normal. And Kirby’s unique facial construction really drives that home. The Demon is definitely one of the best examples of genre juggling that Jack ever pulled of in his career... hard to believe he didn’t even want to create the book in the first place!!! #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #TheDemon #neaderthal #caveman #dinosaur #mindcontrol #JasonBlood #DC #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGcomics #ComjcsOfIG #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Genre #GenreBending https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVC0NHBz3E/?igshid=1mx2arp3rs03l
