This thread is one of my very favorites and I think we've got such a great community of collectors here! I hate to see this thread sink off the first page. I'll think about it and see if I can cook up another party theme. Anniversary of Kirby's birthday is coming up on August 28th. Maybe a birthday countdown? Just throwing that out there... -bc KirbyJack and Frisco Larson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) So it's 59 days (if we start on 7/1) to Kirby's Birthday on 8/28. Lets round that up to 60 days (you'll see why in a minute). The PHM era covers 1959-1963 (5 years or about 60 months) Let's do a Kirby-palooza starting with all his covers/interior artwork/splash pages, whatever from 1/59 on 7/1, 2/59 works on 7/2, and so on? Due a month per day in order? I might have to break out the scanner to get some splash pages from my raw copies to really do this right What you guys think? -bc Edit: Maybe even dig thru the HA.com archives and post some of the OA? (this is a reminder to myself) Edited June 30, 2023 by bc add more data Frisco Larson and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've got a few Kirby splash pics already in the folder, but I'll see what I can do about snapping some pics of others! bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Thanks @Jasonmorris1000000 for getting us started.... Since we have all seen the covers to our beloved monster books, let's see what we know about the interiors I spent the weekend compiling every Jack Kirby splash I could find that he did in the PHM era. There's over 240 of them that I found. Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to identify the books that the splash page came from. Some will be ridiculously easy (Kirby did do the lead story for most books), some will be a little tougher. This will be random; not going to go chronologically, by title or alphabetically to make it more challenging. Your answer can be in the form of either the cover of the book or just the issue. So let's get started..... -bc Edited July 3, 2023 by bc KirbyJack and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good, plan on doing several a day as I get time Should we alter the rules and have everyone put their answers in a spoiler tag? Spoiler Like this? Not sure how to use a spoiler tag? When creating or editing a post, hit the "eye" icon in the center of the toolbar: Then type your answer or post the cover in the "Spoiler" portion.
