#JackedKirby - When Super Skrulls Attack... 💥💥💥 The Super Skrull, real name Kl’rt, first appeared in Fantastic Four #Issue18 (Sept of 1963) it is another example of Jack and Stan doubling down on an existing creation and making him even cooler! An agent of the evil Skrull empire, Kl’rt is bestowed the powers of the FF through the use of a powerful beam from the Skrull homeworld. Using these powers he tried to defeat the FF, but failed. But it wasn’t for lack of effort... as he would show up numerous times to do battle with the FF and other heroes throughout the years! 💥💥💥 One such occasion is this appearance in Thor #Issue142 from July of 1967. On the cover we can see that Kl’rt is battling Thor right here on Earth, and he is giving him a run for his money! 💥💥💥 The next 4 images in this post show us the Super Skrull utilizing the different powers of the FF. In pic 1 we see him Flame On like the Human Torch, in pic 2 we see him turn into Orange Rock like the Thing, pic 3 we see him elasticize himself like Mr Fantastic and in pic 4 we see him utilizing the invisible shield powers of Sue Storm... all in all a tough target for Thor, but one Thor certainly overcomes! He banished Kl’rt off the Earth once again... but he will certainly be back!!!! 💥💥💥 Another great character creation by Jack... expanding on the early Skrulls concept and making it even more awesome!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Thor #SuperSkrull #Skrulls #Klrt #fantasticfour #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #60scomics #ComicsOfThe60s #igcomics #comicsofig #comicart #igcomiccommunity #igcomicfamily #KirbyCovers (I took down the original post and posted with a better cover image cause it was blurry!!!)

#JackedKirby - Check Out My Wild Bill Robot!!!! If you haven't had a chance to check out the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby S.H.I.E.L.D. run in Strange Tales #Issue135-150 you need to do so ASAP!!! There is so much vibrant imagery and overall technological wackiness in these 15 issues that it can't be contained!!! Take this opening splash from #Issue142 which was published in March of 1966. In the image we see a 7 foot tall death machine robot brandishing two hand canons... and he belongs to the good guys!!! He is SHIELD's "Wild Bill Robot" and the gang in the lab are trying to figure out how to use him effectively without him doing his own team any harm!!! But even though the robot is captivating and another example of Jack's mastery over technology in his art... it's not the most interesting thing on the page. Nope... that would be the arrow text box on the bottom of the page... "To give you an example of our generosity, this robot isn't even important to our YARN! We just tossed it in as an added extra for you!" That is amazing. So you are on the first page of the issue, you are marveling at this insane robotic creation blasting the hell out of the page... and the editorial staff is TELLING you straight up this has nothing to do with the story and it's just a bonus! Lol... they new they had it like that, and weren't afraid to advertise it in the work! The fact that Jack would work on a page so intricate (two pages actually) that has no bearing on the overall story speaks to his level of talent... it was NOTHING to him. Not only did he complete it... he killed it!!! So great. I can't recommend this run enough.... some of Jack's best tech work!!! #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #SHIELD #agentsofshield #Hydra #WildBill #Robots #KirbyRobots #KirbyTech #StrangeTales #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #60scomics #ComicsOfThe60s #ComicsOfIG #igcomics #comicsofinstagram #igcomicscommunity #IGComicCommunity #technology #StanAndJack #StanLee
