My Favorite Comic Book Cover of All Time

[MrScorpio]

First Jack Kirby comic book that was ever given to me. Had me hooked ever since

[Hugin]

1. That takes me back....

Remember OMAC?

[MrScorpio]

2. You know I do

Bought it when it was fresh on the stands

All Kirby, all the time with me

[Hugin]

3. I think I had seven of the eight originals...

Missed #1, as usual. :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

4. I bought it

I think that I still may have a tattered old copy

[Hugin]

5. It says in that wiki entry they never finished the series...

!

Here I've been all these years wondering what the heck happened!

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

6. That happened to a lot of Kirby's series

DC didn't appreciate him... the nearsighted fools. It's why he went back to Marvel. DC, however, is still ripping off all of his concepts today.

About 1/3 of DC storylines can be traced back to a Kirby idea from his time there.

Amazing.

Two thirds of Marvel. X-Men, The Hulk, Fantastic Four... All movies from Kirby's design.

He was the King!

8. DC is having Jim Starlin close the book on Kirby's fourth world stuff

this fall in Death of the New Gods. Starlin says it will be a bookend to Jack's work

[MrScorpio]

9. Starlin is an excellent storyteller

He's the man I'd pick. His work has always been in homage to Jack's since day one.
