Let's talk about Jack Kirby

My dumb work is blocking that image for some reason but it's presumably Kirby art so my gut says yes.

First page of The Dingbats of Danger St? That's one for the more season Kirby reader.

seasoned

it's like a kirby bingo full house

true heads go for back tats of Baron Von Evilstein imo

The weirdest stuff always has an element of comedy.

y

tho it is missing kirby krackle so not entirely complete

I'm always thinking that opening line in my head while walking around doing chores etc

THIS IS HOW FAST THINGS HAPPEN ON DANGER ST

If you get it as a tat, maybe exclude the racist Asian caricature in the lower right corner?

you mean Bananas?

"Jacob and the Angel"

The composition is amazing in that drawing

Anybody got the "don't dangle your gonads in my ear" panel?

holy shit at jacob and the angel, that is gorgeous

jfc I have a half dozen OG issues and would like the rest but this is insane

is it real or is it algorithmic

also presumably you get lurid colour reconstruction and bad repro or tracing in that version

Eh i like the 4th World omnibuses just fine

hopefully we get a reprint

btw this has been pretty great, not sure if anyone mentioned it yet

Ah! Heard about that but also forgot about it. I love scioli

i like the 4th World omnibuses just fine

those are DC, Eternals is Marvel

Duh

Are u telling me marvel is worse w this stuff? I like the Thor and FF masterworks volumes i have too. Yes the colors are brighter/more garish than the individual issues i have, but those issues also dont look that great themselves (color separations are often super-sloppy) and of course are also falling apart.

Speculators who fix the prices of comics reprint collections at about the range of a large kitchen appliance should probably be, I dunno, arrested or deported or something. Branded, on the face, maybe? Nagh, that might be too much.

Trades of that Eternals material were available at reasonable prices when I acquired them a few years back. And it'll almost certainly be reprinted again prior to the release of the movie.

I have that Eternals hardcover, gotta say that the repro and colour on it are just fine as far as these things go. By the 1970s, Marvel had started to keep decent film of the original art, so there's less 'reconstruction' going on. TBH, the last few issues of Kirby's Eternals are fairly dispiriting - we get the 'Cosmic Powered Hulk', and the feeling that Kirby has somewhat lost interest or focus in the material. The first paperback collection of issues 1-8 is probably all really you need.

Are u telling me marvel is worse w this stuff

well yeah, prima facie. no idea about this hardcover in particular, but iirc DC gave up Theakstonising after three or four Archives.

We saw this at the Marvel exhibit at the Seattle Pop Culture Museum:

LOL, that's awesome

The first victory on Sunday night belonged to Carter, who won Best Costume Design. “Marvel may have created the first black superhero,” she said in her speech, “but through costume design, we turned him into an African king.”

The article you linked to seems to acknowledge Kirby (and Lee) pretty extensively, though(?)

Sure, my beef is moreso with the costume/design team which i have never heard acknowledge kirby's input at all? I'm aware there was a concerted effort to truly Africanize the look and feel and I get that but Kirby is at the root and that's not something to be ashamed of.

fkn love this

that Lainie Kazan!

Wish I could find the precise + persuasive illustration used in the comparison I saw the other day but (and perhaps I'm just the last person to be hipped to the notion) it seems not unlikely that Ben Grimm is modeled after Jack's father, Ben.

Anyone read that Stuf' Said! book yet? With the chronological interview snippets from Lee & Kirby discussing who created what at Marvel (and which apparently and unsurprisingly favors Kirby)? Curious if anything new or interesting was revealed.

my first reaction - "in 1950? is that right?"

my second reaction - "oh god how did it become 2020 already"

I had this comic as a kid; wish I still did. I remember it was pretty weird.
