Did you know that Jack Kirby drew the program book cover for the 1972 San Diego Comicon?
Kamandi and The Demon were the gentleman's new creations fro DC Comics that year, and in this drawing you get to see those two dancing and leaping about, as well as a more static Merlin (who appeared prominently in The Demon #1).
Nice, right?!
Did you know there is a new documentary about Alex Ross and Kingdom Come? It's true!
The World Premiere of the film will be in Chicago this weekend.
Maybe you'd like a little peek over here.
Mr. Crumb will be interviewed by his biographer, Dan Nadel, and included in each ticket price is one copy of Crumb: A Cartoonist's Life autographed by both gentlemen!
More details can be found over here.
Doesn't this face of Etrigan the Demon look a bit like Mr. Jack Kirby himself?
I'm not sure if artist Steve Ellis designed the character that way intentionally, but all that's missing is the cigar!
I can't be the first person to notice a resemblance between Richard Nixon and Jack Kirby, can I?
The 1960s DC-bullet logo always had the "Superman" and the "DC" printed in red while "National Comics" was printed in black, right? Well, there was ONE exception!
Whereas the DC bullet that Jenette Kahn commissioned from designer Milton Glaser in the 1970s was amazingly color-fluid, the one time the 1960s bullet strayed from its standard color palette was on the cover of 1964's Tales of the Unexpected #85.
The main story of that issue was titled "The Day Red Turned to Green" and the cover colorist played it to the hilt in a meta-kind of way by toying with the bullet logo. Bravo!
