We've seen Jack Kirby appearing in various comics, but it's nigh impossible to catalog his appearances.
In part, that's because he isn't always mentioned in the script, even when it's clearly Jack playing the character that Jack is drawing.As you might suspect, one good example of this type of situation is in Tales Of Suspense #25 (at right).
It's actually that cover story, in fact.
But, before we get to the story, let's jump over for another excerpt from the interview with Jack Kirby in The Jack Kirby Treasury (vol. 1), when Jack is talking about his early days in comics, just over 75 years ago.
Think about that. Can you imagine the kind of films Jack Kirby might have made had he gone the movie director route?
Thankfully, we can get a glimpse through the magic of Kirbyvision-
Y'know... I love Jack sitting there triumphant above that blurb announcing the new Fantastic Four comic.

Pretty much the same ending as Journey Into Mystery #83. That wrap-up was used a few times, before and after Thor's debut issue.
ReplyDeleteJack Kirby shows up to save the day in a lot of places, eh? Lighting up a cigar after is probably his cignature move.
