Kirby Bits (King Kirby 089)


It's Saturday morning, so let's enjoy some light reading -  we've got a few odds & ends from The King.
From Headline Comics #37, here's a little 1-pager from Jack Kirby & Joe Simon:



And here's a 3 page tale reprinted from Boy Commandos #12 in New Gods #4-


How about a little background on the Hairies we met the other day?



Of course, when comic artists were asked to help raise money to fight famine, Jack stepped up with these two pages for Heroes Against Hunger..


Damn nice to actually see Jack's version of Superman's face. I'm going to have to go read Super Powers and enjoy him drawing the Justice League.
Now, enjoy a full bit of Odd as Simon & Kirby bring us a tale of His Highness, The Duke Of Broadway from Black Cat Comics #7-



His Highness, The Duke Of Broadway. I hadn't encountered him before - what an odd concept. But since Black Cat was Hollywood's Glamorous Detective Star, it seems the concept was a natural fit for the book.

pages from Headline Comics #37(1949), New Gods #4(1971), Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #147(1971),Heroes Against Hunger(1986), and Black Cat Comics #7(1947)
