Gone but never forgotten

Good God!

 

The details on that Black Panther piece are just fantastic.

Damn 20 years has gone by fast,seems like yesterday.

And let's not forget about his contributions that came to light in recent years.

Though I know this will end up in the 'out of context members quotes', here goes...

 

It's always exciting to see Kirby's pencils! There, I said it. There is so much life and movement in them, very dynamic!

Wow, I never saw the "Lord of Light" drawings… they are just awesome.

Have they been published in some form?

After the information about Argo started coming out, the artwork came up more and more.

 

Those pieces were at an art show on the topic. Wish I could have seen these in person.

While I always choose to instead commemorate The King's birthday, it's nice to see some love for him here in CG.

 

[Bosco685]

WOW! WOW! WOW!

 

 

His work on Kamandi was some of my earliest comic book memories.

Sweet pages Jack! – so you have a page from Annual #6? That is great!

[Speedy-D]

For me, the love of Kirby has been a steadily growing thing. I've always known he was badass, but there was a long time when he hadn't really entered my heart, as it were. But time goes by, and I love him more and more; for his art, his attitude, his work ethic, his inspiration, his influence, and the history that he's such a huge part of.

 

Infantino's still my favorite comic artist, but I've given up trying to convince myself that he's as much a giant as Kirby is. That's just dumb, Kirby really is The King. And Carmine, if you're reading this up there, being a second stringer to the best ever is no insult. And say "What up" to Jack for us.

I wish!

No, the 2 FF pages are from 78 and 98. A collector has ALL the splash pages from annual 6 on his CAF page. It's like looking at starlight on the ocean, they're so beautiful!

[KirbyJack]

Very nice choice with the Black Panther DPS, Speedy!

Ah, I was misled by the scene showing Sue visited by the doctor – so I guess that is from #78.

[KirbyJack]

It is a direct tie-in to the story, that's why I love that page!

That, and it's from my very favorite phase of Kirby's art on FF.
