#JackedKirby - Chi-Town Gangsters in a Post Apocalyptic World??? 🔫🔫🔫 Jack never followed any rules when it came to his creative process... he never let anything like reality limit him and the design decisions he would make in the pages of his comics... especially in the pages of Kamandi! 🔫🔫🔫 Despite the fact that Kamandi was set in a post apocalyptic world that has seen the animals take over the dominant roles in society from humans we get a set of classic Kirby gangsters in #Issue19 from July of 1974!!! While this seems illogical considering the protagonist Kamandi is supposed to be the “Last Boy on Earth” and he is being pursued by a group of Gorilla soldiers... there it is right from the opening splash page (pics 1/2)!!! 🔫🔫🔫 These 1940s Chicago styled gangsters may seem out of time with the rest of the book, but despite the very traditional settings, Tommy guns and fedoras (pics 3/4/5) these gangsters are definitely there... but how? 🔫🔫🔫 The big reveal on the last page is that these hoodlums aren’t actually South Side hoods... instead they are robots!!! (Pics 6/7). We get a very “Westworld” style shot of one of these robots missing a face and shooting a Tommy Gun at the end of the book... very fitting. 🔫🔫🔫 Our very own @tommylombardozzi loves to talk about how Jack could always find a way to incorporate gangsters in pinstriped suits into anything... and this is just another example!!! 🔫🔫🔫 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Kamandi #Gangsters #TommyGuns #DCComics #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Comics #Comic #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGcomics #ComicsOfIG #thejackedkirbypodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUlI_bBokX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1acgc0qkvpfs1

I'm rewatching Crashing starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge on Netflix and it's just as delightful as the first time I watched it. Basically, it's a British comedy about a group of young adults who live together in an disused hospital as property guardians. If you don't trust me (you should), here's a good review about how great this show is.

Back issues @state.f22 with Lilith on the cover #issue19 #feature written by @annamcnay The Legend: A Sumerian Babylonian Hebrew goddess, Adam twin sister and first wife. Like Adam, Lilith was created from dust and his rib - therefore equal in her eyes but their creator the lord of light wanted her to be Adam’s submissive companion. Lilith always believed she was in full control of her own sexuality, body and mind so in protest she flew the garden of Eden. Some traditions sees her as the snake that later on tempted Adam with a curse Apple. #artmagazine #nicolaslaborie #lilith #photography #alternativeprocess #wetplate #collodion #firstwoman #legend #sumerian #goddess #archive https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp86BcJlZkW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f9ksbvkohsju

#JackedKirby - Kang the Conqueror... or is it Rama Tut? 💥💥💥 During the early years of Jack and Stan’s collaborative run at Marvel the fellas created a bevy of baddies to battle all the new superheroes they were creating. I mean, these guys had to fight someone right? But one of those baddies stands out because he was so nice the had to create him twice... wait, what? 💥💥💥 The evil pharaoh Rama Tut appeared in #Issue19 of the Fantastic Four in October of 1963. The story is a time travel yarn, with the FF being transported back into ancient Egyptian times and encountering Rama Tut (Pic 1), a very powerful king who also happens to be wielding some modern technology that shouldn’t exist in that era. We find out he is actually a time traveler from the 31st Century and he is using his superior knowledge and tech to keep a stranglehold on Ancient Egypt! He flees after this encounter with the FF, vowing revenge... 💥💥💥 About a year later a “new” villain appears in Avengers #Issue8 (Sept of 64) named Kang the Conqueror. He is sporting a suit of armor & helm very reminiscent of Dr Doom, and he to posses all types of technology that proves troublesome for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! (Pic 2) He captures the whole team except Wasp and Rick Jones, and eventually they free Thor who claims victory over Kang! 💥💥💥 What makes these two connected is that over time it is established in the Marvel Universe that Kang and Rama Tut are actually the same person... and what makes it this already crazy situation crazier is that his name is Nathaniel Richards! He is actually a descendant of Reed’s family from the future... and the tech he uses to time travel comes from Dr. Victor Vin Doom himself!!!! That’s why his Kang costume is modeled after the Dr... he is homaging him! Kang has come back many times through the years in different forms: the Scarlet Centaurion, Iron Lad, Immortus and who knows who else. One thing is certain, he is one of the coolest and complex villains to come out of that early era. His double introduction is proof that Jack & Stan began thinking more long term about storylines once FF and the other books began becoming successful!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby https://www.instagram.com/p/BnfBEQrBDGv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fnmwreq1rl3k
