Countdown to 1000 in Whatifkirby.com shows ten key covers #1 by Kirby.

What if Kirby is closing in on the 1,000th page of Jack Kirby original art posted in the Gallery. WiK launched in August 2010 with little more than 100 pages. Membership access gives the additional benefit of zooming into the art to study and enjoy it.

 

To celebrate this momentous event WiK will count up to 1,000 with 10 historical Jack Kirby #1 covers from the 1970s and 1980s. Starting on Sunday, February 18th cover #991 will be added, then each day for the following 9 days another #1 cover will be added to the site with the grande finale being my pick for the best #1 cover. When a new cover is added, this post will be updated with the new post. It will also be Tweeted out (@whatifkirby) and Facebooked out on the WhatifKirby Facebook page.

 

Thanks to WiK members for making this site a success and excellent resource for study Jack Kirby. A special thanks to the original art dealers in no particular order: Bechara Maalouf of Nostalgic Collectables, Albert Moy of Albert Moy Comic Art, Mike Burkey of Romitaman Original Comic Art, Hans Kosenkranius of Tri-State Original Art, Anthony Snyder of Anthony's Comic Book Art, Will Gabri-El of Will's Comic Art Page, Rich and Steve Donnelly or Cool Lines Art, Peter Koch of Koch Comic Art, Scott Eder of Scott Eder Comic Book Art, Joe and Nadia Mannarino Comic Art among several others. And thanks to the Rand Hoppe of the Jack Kirby Museum and the many great private collectors who have allow their pages to be scanned or have summited pages for the Jack Kirby Original Art Archive.

 

So celebrate and spread the word, tweet it, Facebook it, but don't forget to check back for some of the best Jack Kirby covers of all time.

With so many art stored at the site scanned at high res and with high quality, when we'll able to enjoy an Artist's Edition focused on Kirby?
