#JackedKirby - MissileMan... who is that? π₯π₯π₯ I have been recently looking to add a piece of Kirby original art to my personal collection and cane across this beauty over at Comic Art Fans for sale! This is a beauty of a pencil piece from Jack of a character named MissileMan that is listed as property of the Jack Kirby Estate, meaning he was not created for any major company (Marvel or DC) or designated purpose to speak of. In all actuality this is probably some sort of toy/animation prototype that Jack was working on at the time. π₯π₯π₯ The first pic in this post is of the original pencil sketch, which is quite large (19x27) and has been sold on the open market quite a few times in recent years. The second pic is from the Jack Kirby Gold Checklist Edition (published in 2008) from Two Morrows Publishing, and shows an inked version of MissileMan subset on a table of context page from early on in the book. π₯π₯π₯ Considering the original is dated 1983, this could have been a potential original character for later waves of Kennerβs Super Power figures that never quite made it to production.... no one is quite sure of itβs original intention, but there is no denying itβs uniqueness and overall badass design by the King! π₯π₯π₯ #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MissileMan #JackKirbyEstate #PencilSketch #OriginalArt #TwoMorrowsPublishing #JackKirbyChecklist #SuperPowers #ConceptArt #JackKirbyCollector #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #80scomics #80sToys #ComicsOfThe80s #ToysOfThe80s #IGComics #IGComicCommunity #IGComicFamily https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7ZqjzhWcJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c9ulvuiqflv1
