#JackedKirby - Thor and Surfer... Jack and Walt... 💥💥💥 Jack Kirby is widely hailed as being one of the greatest comic book CREATORS in the universe, but most people don’t realize how much of an influence his work has on the next couple of generations of comic artists & writers that followed him... and this piece in particular has not one but TWO of those stories! 💥💥💥 In The Jack Kirby Collector #Issue14 (published in February of 1997) there is an interview with the great Walt Simonson. Walt is a titan in the comic book field in his own right, but has widely acknowledged Kirby’s influence over his artistic stylings. The issue features a great article and interview that focuses on Simonson’s love of Kirby’s works, his own runs on Kirby characters Thor, Manhunter and the New Gods... it’s just an awesome read. But the real gem is the pics that are included! 💥💥💥 Inside #Issue14 we see this awesome Thor & Silver Surfer cosmic pin-up that was created by Jack for fellow artist Carl Taylor. Kirby traded this pinup for a piece of Taylor’s art, which he happened to be fond of. It is a breathtaking space-scape, with both Thor and Surfer conveying might and power galore! It was created and traded in 1977... 💥💥💥 Pic 1 of this post is Jack’s original pencils of the pin up. (pic 1) As was normal in issues of the Kirby Collector, a current artist was asked to ink/color Jack’s original pencil design. This task was completed by Walt Simonson himself, and we can see the black and white inks (Pic 2, appeared in the Collected Omnibus edition) and the full colored finished piece that adorned the back cover of #Issue14 of The Jack Kirby Collector (Pic 3). An awesome original piece from The King and an awesome job finishing it up by Walt!!! Well done by @twomorrowspubs for documenting and sharing the whole process!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #PinUp #Thor #SilverSurfer #CosmicKirby #CarlTaylor #WaltSimonson #TJKC #TheJackKirbyCollector #TwoMorrows #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #ComicArt #IGComicArt #IGComics #ComicsOfIG #ComicBooksOfIG #Inking #Pencils #Covers https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhPul0BfXW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=177ibn6kn67rk

#JackedKirby - The Great Gatsby... Kirby Style!!! 💥💥💥 I was reading an old issue of the Jack Kirby Collector (#Issue27 from Feb of 2000) and the issue contained a round table discussion with Lisa Kirby (Jack’s daughter), Mike Thibodeaux, Richard French And Steve Robertson about unrealized Kirby characters that had gone underdeveloped and unreleased but were being perused posthumously... and low and behold Lisa shared this awesome piece of unreleased art!!! 💥💥💥 Apparently Jack created these two images (and possibly more) for a school project Lisa had on The Great Gatsby... wow! It must be nice to be a student with a master artist as a father to help you out with some illustrations to kick that book report up a notch!!!! We get two photos, one at the grave site of James Gatsby and another with some partying 20s style going on... lots of champagne and flapper style clothing out on the dance floor in that one. Pic 3 of this post is the complete page from The Jack Kirby Collector that the images appeared on... these guys are the best source for little known Kirby goodies!!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #TheGreatGatsby #Gatsby #LisaKirby #TJKC #TheJackKirbyCollector #Sketches #Dad #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGcomics #ComicsOfIG https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu62T8FBY7d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cvsg4ik0vfiv

#JackedKirby - A Personal Sketch To The King... From The King!!! 👑👑👑 Before the era of constant repackaging and reprinting of former issues into collections/graphic novels collectors did not have anywhere near the outlets to read back issues of their favorite books. Other then fan made “collected” books that took ACTUAL issues and bound them together from a professional bookmaker, we rarely got a one shot deal that collected multiple issues. But if the King asks, the king shall receive.... 👑👑👑 What we have here is a pencil sketch that appeared in a personal collection of Boy Commando comics. He had the full run collected into a hard-covered leather bound edition, and he sketched this awesome team shot on the interior cover!!! It’s a dedication fit for a King... TO THE KING!!! 👑👑👑 This sketch, like many of Kirby’s personal creations from his own collection, was printed in The Jack Kirby Collector Volume 10 #Issue34 (March/April 2002) from Two Morrows publishing. TJKC had unbelievable access from the Kirby Estate to these types of personal sketches... things that have never (or would never) have seen the light of day previously. 👑👑👑 The Boy Commandos have never looked so great... Alfie, Andre, Jan, Brooklyn and Rip Carter are a team of soldiers from all over the globe that have combined forces to battle the Nazis... and in this one beauty of a personal collection we got these amazing headshots from Jack. Thanks to Two Morrows for republishing this goodness!!!! 👑👑👑 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #BoyCommandos #TJKC #TheJackKirbyCollector #PencilSketch #CollectedEdition #ComicCollections #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #IGComicBooks #IGComicCommunity #PersonalCollection #PencilSketch #twomorrowspublishing https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLVG5_hmMA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=100pdicw9g19t
