#JackedKirby - Back Covers are just as important as Front Covers to Jack!!! 💥💥💥 When Jack left Marvel & DC behind to explore the worlds of animation and Indy publishing one of the things he tried to do was break conventions and restrictions that had limited him as a creative for al those years in the industry. Publisher Pacific Comics couldn’t care less how wacky Kirby wanted to be... they had The King of Comics in house, and he was accompanied by industry titans like Neal Adams, Steve Ditko and others contributing back up stories for Captain Victory... a revolution was brewing! 💥💥💥 Take the back cover for Captain Victory #Issue6 from August of 1982. The title character, Captain Victory, suffers a catastrophic injury in battle and he is moments from death. But Jack had a plan for that... the Captain can take all his memories/mind and deposit into a new fresh body!!! As long as the procedure can be completed, Captain Victory would NEVER die! 💥💥💥 The back cover of the issue is used to show the mind switch surgery process. The Captain lies there with a special helmet, awaiting for his consciousness to be deposited into his new clone body! It’s another cover/splash page... and a beautiful one at that!!! There is also an example of Jack’s signature writing. His prose is very new age and cosmos orientated at times, and that is on display with this passage here!!! To think that Jack would put this much work and effort into the BACK of a comic is beyond me. Back Covers are usually reserved for ads... not when the King is given free reign over the design layout!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #CaptainVictory #GalacticRangers #CaptainVictoryAndTheGalacticRangers #PacificComics #80sComics #ComicsOfThe80s #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #ComicCovers #igcomicfamily #igcomiccommunity #igcomics #igcomicbookcommunity #comicofig #comicsofinstagram #SteveDitko #NealAdams https://www.instagram.com/p/BorMibQHz00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x769jafnge13
