Jack Kirby was known as “The King.” His creations, and those parterre with Joe Simon, are the cornerstone of comic book art. Kirby’s work has always exhibited more drama, motion, speed, and intensity than any other comic creator. His art was a menace-dripping, laugh-provoking orgy of four-color fantasy that knew no bounds. This set chronicles a career that spanned 50 years. Included are covers and sketches, some of which have never before been published. Also included are paintings by Dave Dorman, Steve Rude, Glenn Barr, and images inked by Alan Weiss, Mike Machlan, Dave Elliot, John Paul Leon, Tony Harris, Bill Black, Jim Steranko, Mike Zeck, Steve Leialoha, Leslie Cabarga, and more. The backs of these cards are really something else. The text used is written by world-renowned authority Greg Theakston. It offers extraordinary detail into the history of Jack Kirby’s life & work.
