#JackedKirby - You remember that time the FF protected the Moon Landing??? 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔 Being that we just passed the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 manned moon landing (July 16th 1969) I thought it would be cool to look back at the time Stan and Jack portrayed the Marvel version of that event... and how the First Family helped NASA accomplish the epic task!!! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌒🌑🌓🌔 Fantastic Four #Issue98 came out in May of 1970 and is near the tail end of “The Run”, Jack and Stan’s epic 102 Issue journey (plus annuals!) together on the FF. The issue features Reed getting a cryptic transmission from space about an impeding threat... and it happens to coincide with the upcoming moon mission!!!! This is an obvious “ripper from the headlines” story and the cover (pic 1) makes sure to highlight it in the story title “Doomsday on the Moon!!!” 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌒🌑🌓🌔 Kree Sentry #459 wants the Apollo mission to fail so he plan on sabotaging it... but not if the FF can stop it!!! Ben, Reed And Johnny (sans Sue) spring into action after drawing conclusions that Reed’s message is tied to the upcoming space mission... 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌒🌓🌔 I also really love the use of actual newspaper headlines in the story to highlight a real life event taking place in the 616 universe... Pics 2/3/4 all show the characters reading about the Apollo Mission and utilizing this info to further the story. Another cool twist is that the heroes arrive home just in time to see Neil Armstrong’s epic first steps on the moon and hear his “one small step for man... one giant leap for mankind” declaration with Jack recreated to close out the issue (pics 5/6). Done perfectly... historically accurate and wonderfully rendered by The King!!! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌘🌒🌓🌔 #JackKirby #Kirby #KingKirby #FF #FantasticFour #Kree #MoonLanding #NeilArmstrong #BuzzAldrin #Marvel #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #IGcomics #ComicsOfIG #50thanniversary #MoonLanding https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OjFq-Bf1k/?igshid=1i6jzy5gwpdr1

#JackedKirby - Happy 95th Birthday Vinnie Boy!!! 💥💥💥 Vincent Joseph Colletta would have been celebrating his 95th birthday today if he were alive. A career in the comic book industry and working side by side with The King of Comics cements Vinnie’s place in the comic pantheon for his contributions in inking, pencilling and never meeting a deadline he couldn’t hit! 💥💥💥 Vinnie began work in comics in 1952 working for Better Comics... but his first attributed artwork alongside the King come in either Kid Colt Outlaw #Issue100 cover (Pic 2, Sept of 1961) or the cover of Love Romances #Issue98 (Pic 3, March of 1962) providing inks for both. He also inked the momentous Fantastic Four #Annual3 (Pic 4/5 from Oct of 1965) which features the wedding of Reed Richards and Sue Storm!!! 💥💥💥 Vinnie and Jack’s most notable collaborations came on Thor. He inked the first Tales of Asgard back up story in Journey Into Mystery #Issue106 (July 1964, Pic 6) and started an almost complete run from Journey Into Mystery #Issue116 (Pic 7/8) May of 1965 until Thor #Issue167 (August of 1969) and Thor #Issue176-179 (Jack’s Final Issue). 💥💥💥 His last hurrah with Jack came on the 4th World Titles, especially the iconic New Gods series (Pic 9). I love the title card from New Gods #Issue1 (March 1971, Pic 10). 💥💥💥 Vinnie faces his fair share of critiques based on his alterations of Jack’s original pencils... but Jack must have liked him & his work or else why would he keep working with him? I particularly love his work on Thor... his 50+ consecutive issues on the run are right up their with Sinnott’s team up with Kirby on FF!!! Happy birthday in heaven Big Vin... hope you and Jack light up a cigar today and celebrate!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #VinnieColletta #VinceColletta #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #igcomicfamily #igcomiccommunity #igcomics #Thor #FF #NewGods https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-h7XgngYl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14pif0snuq3zd
