“For a Breath I Tarry” [written by Roger Zelazny], Illustrated by Stephen E. Fabian (1980)

The King would have been 102 today — yes, legendary comics artist and storyteller Jack Kirby was born in this day in 1917. We were privileged to be able to publish his Lord of Light art in poster form in 2015. (The art was used as part of the CIA’s fake-movie cover in 1979-80, as dramatized in the movie Argo.) Several of the pieces have sold out, but these are still available in our store, follow the link in our bio to get there. . #jackkirby #jackkirbyart #lordoflight #heavymetalmagazine #barrygeller #rogerzelazny #argo https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uOgohngZ4/?igshid=3o0avadvvtpb

#inktober2019 day 2: mindless! It’s Night in the Lonesome October month & the Things in the Mirror slithered into my achy brain. #tentacles #inktober #inktobersfetsy #rogerzelazny I’m going to add gold to the frame & color the tentacles later, but I’m just doing ink wash for the challenge. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Ilp1dpsb4/?igshid=sonnv9z5qtg

#JackedKirby - Happy Holi (Holika)... Kirby Style!!! 💥💥💥 Today is the Hindu holiday of Holi (Holika), also know as the Festival of Color!!!! In honor of this beautiful Spring holiday and the Hindu culture we decided to highlight some of Jack’s awesome Lord of Light pieces.... considering they are inspired by Hindu myths and loaded with day glow colors!!! 💥💥💥 Jack created these phenomenal works of art in conjunction with screenwriter Barry Ira Geller. Geller had set out to created an adaption of a famous Sci-Fi novel “Lord of Light” by Roger Zelazny and he commissioned Jack and inker Mike Roger to storyboard the whole thing. But they would also serve as prototype blueprints for a proposed theme park called Science Fiction Land!! It never ended up getting made... but Can you even imagine how cool that would have been? 💥💥💥 The art and script for the scrapped adaption would later end up being used by the CIA in a fake movie making scam to free the Iraq Hostages in 1979-80!!! That rescue story would later be adapted into the Academy Award winning movie Argo!!! 💥💥💥 You can read more about the whole ordeal, including all of Kirby’s involvement by checking out this blog: http://www.thegeektwins.com/2013/03/secret-history-of-lord-of-light-concept.html?m=1 💥💥💥 In Pic 1/2 we have The Chamber of Brahma, in pics 3/4 we have the Terminal of the Gods, pics 5/6 we have various Hindu Gods in action, pics 7/8 we have Brahma’s Supremacy, Pic 9 is the whole print collection of Jack’s art from @heavymetal and Pic 10 is some Indian folks celebrating Holi!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Holi #Holika #HinduMythology #Hindu #HinduGods #LordOfLight #RogerZelazny #IraGeller #ThemePark #ScienceFictionLand #SciFi #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #ScreenPlay #BluePrints #MikeRoyer #KirbyRoyer #HeavyMetalMagazine 💥💥💥 PS - I got my copy of Lord of Light (the novel) from @collectiblesciencefiction !!!

"His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god, but then he never claimed not to be a god."
