#JackedKirby - Booster Cogburn aka The Dislocated Spine!!! 💥💥💥 In 1983 Jack Kirby teamed up with fellow industry malcontent Steve Gerber to help raise money to sue Marvel through a collaboration. The resulting project was Destroyer Duck for Eclipse Comics, which was an anthology comic title featuring the industries top tier talent... the main storyline was Destroyer Duck by Kirby & Gerber! 💥💥💥 #Issue2 was published in February of 1983 and featured one of the wackiest characters ever, Booster Cogburn aka The Dislocated Spine!!! Cogburn is a clone created by Godcorp (the money grubbing corporate entity that was supposed to be Marvel) a very unique gift. When killed, his spine would detach from the body and regenerate into a new version of himself. After being ambushed (Pics 1-3) Cogburn is left to die... and we see the resurrection process take place with the Spine becoming sentient and escaping the dead corpse (Pics 4 and 5) leaving us with a reinvigorated Cogburn Clone later in the Issue (pic 6) to exact some revenge! Cool concept brought to life by the King for a good cause! 💥💥💥 Trivia Note - While many comic luminaries such as Jerry Siegel, Mark Evanier, Buzz Dixon, Dan Spiegle, Martin Pasko, Frank Miller and Scott Shaw worked on the books various stories and covers through its 6 Issue run, it is most well know for the first appearance of Sergio Aragones’s long running barbarian comic Groo the Wanderer in Issue 1! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #Kirby #KingKirby #SteveGerber #DestroyerDuck #Groo #EclipseComics #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #80sComics #ComicsOfThe80s #Godcorp #BoosterCogburn #TheDislocatedSpine #IGComics #ComicsOfIG #Clones https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvCBP_gP9L/?igshid=1qth1e3uqffsh

#JackedKirby - The Curling Terror of THE DISLOCATED SPINE!!! Hahahah... Jack has sure been involved in some weird and wild projects. But few were weirder and wilder than his work on Destroyer Duck alongside friend and compatriot against the Man Steve Gerber. Gerber is the creator of of Howard the Duck for Marvel. However he found himself in a lawsuit with the company in the last 70s/early 80s over ownership rights of the character... and needed money to mount a legal battle. So Gerber got an assist from The King and Eclipse Comics to launch a new title called Destroyer Duck to help raise money to pal the legal bills! Jack did the pencils on Issues 1-5 as well as the covers.There is a lot of elements of Howard the Duck's wackiness in this book, but one of the wackiest things in this run has to be the villain in #Issue2 that is threatening Destroyer Duck: The Dislocated Spine! This is one wild idea for a baddie... a floating, snake-like spine of exposed bone! Here we see characters Madea and Duke on a rooftop about to be accosted by a free floating spinal column... wow! This is another example of the zany antics that Gerber was giving Kirby to draw on this series. I love this cover so much, but I really enjoy the raw pencils on it so much that I decided to post this one instead of the colored version! Thanks to @tommylombardozzi for the suggestion on this one!!! #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #DestroyerDuck #TheDislocatedSpine #Madea #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #80sComics #ComicsOfThe80s #SteveGerber #ComicsOfIG #igcomiccommunity #IGComics #EclipseComics
