What's on Your wall? (King Kirby 067)


Very simple post this morning, just one piece by Jack Kirby. This one is a bit different than most for the simple fact that it wasn't drawn & painted for anything other than personal pleasure. Jack drew it and then Mike Thibodeaux inked the piece, after which Jack returned to the piece with his water colours. The painting hung on Kirby's wall at home where he and the family could enjoy it.
Eventually it wound up with art collector Vince Oliva, who offers much of his collection for viewing via an online gallery at Comic Art Fans.
Both a Bravo! and a personal thanks to Mr. Oliva for letting the superb work in his collection be seen.

As always, click on the image to enjoy a larger view of Kirby goodness:
