The Astrals

This cool Kirby page just turned up on Heritage Auctions...

The Astrals never saw print, but I love the page all the same. Click the image to get a better look. If I had the money I'd be bidding.

GLEEP!

Let's all laugh at Hitler

From Detective Comics #69, November 1942: Joe Simon and Jack Kirby poking fun at Hitler...

Der Fuherer's Steam Bath!

Great stuff!

This is where they got the inspiration for Downfall, you know?

Reprinted in The Greatest Golden Age Stories Ever Told, DC Comics (1990)

Happy Birthday...

...to The King of Comics.

He would've been 92 today.

Nuclear Meltdown (Jack Kirby style)

Click to see big!

I groove on the reaction of the soldiers to imminent meltdown, (HOLOCAUST TIME! FUCK, YEAH!) but what I really love about this panel is that it can be read left to right or right to left. Perhaps the two soldiers either side of the guy in the middle are speaking at the same time and the guy in the middle is having his mind blown on two fronts. I dunno, these are the things I think about at 3am.

It's Jack Kirby's birthday

Go read some of his out of print comics


It's also Wrong Door day. I might be biased because it was written and directed by my good friend Mr Wheatley, but I can't see that anyone who likes comics could fail to enjoy The Wrong Door. It's on BBC3 at 10.30pm, give it a go.

Hey! I know what'd be good, a picture of Judge Dredd carrying a starving Ethiopian!

No food citizen?
The sentence is DEATH!

Personally I think the expression on that skull's face says it all, but if you think this Ron Smith effort is in fact a heart rending and worthy work of art then you can buy it HERE

Apparently everyone who knows anything about comics is already aware that Jack Kirby wrote and drew a Prisoner comic. Well fuck me! I had no idea until yesterday...
