We interrupt the King Kirby 100 for the return of
We're keeping with our Jack Kirby theme this month, but the KK100 tries to be Safe For Work, but not all of The King's fans have the same intent. Nor does this blog, for that matter - but you clicked on the Adult Warning, so you already know that.
So today, let's look at a few of Jack's characters as drawn by other artists, like Dave Cockrum, John Byrne, Joe Rubenstein, Adam Hughes, Frank Cho, and Bruce Timm.
One of the most popular Kirby characters for nude/erotic sketches is the Scarlet Witch. One can only imagine that popularity will increase with the current Avengers movies.
NOTE: The images from this post contain nudity, and thus have been moved to our back room for adult content. The text remains that you may make a fair guess as to whether or not you wish to look at the pics.

Close behind, perhaps not surprisingly given the amount of cheesecake inherent in her comic book role as Mister Miracle's stage assistant, is Big Barda. Her warrior side has inspired entire 'muscle porn' fan groups. Those two contrasts offer an intriguing combination to many artists and fans...
The Wasp, of course, has lot of fans and can inspire a fair bit of fetish oriented artwork. Her appearance in the recent Avengers cartoon series open another fan base and style of artwork. We'll see more of her next week, but here's a nice study of her for now...
Kirby's biggest stars are often more popular in cartoons:
To wrap things up for this batch, here's one of my favorite cartoons of the type:

At one point while growing up, we lived in a 'blue' county, so called because it was subject to old Blue Laws. Blue Laws was a term used to refer to attempts to legislate morality, usually by the highly unmoral seeking power or feeling guilty. On Sundays where we lived, the alcohol cabinets in the stores were chained shut, and bars closed. It was illegal to sell alcohol anywhere in the county on Sunday, so you tried to stock up friday or saturday, and hope your friends did, too, so they wouldn't drink you dry before Monday came around.
This was Blue Sunday.
In general, this worked out for most folks with only minor grousing about the situation. But for the hard drinkers, the young partiers who get cut off halfway through the weekend, it was ... well, agonizing - according to them. This led to savagely overdrinking and hard partying on Monday - the kind that leaves you waking up naked and not being able to identify the naked person(s) next to you.
This was Blue Monday.
And so we have a name for our latest feature:
Here we'll take a look at what we'll call 'Blue' comics & art for the sake of the feature.
Sometimes we'll look at various 'adult' comics from around the globe, other times we'll just look at the pretty pictures. Like today.
Here's a news flash - many artists often draw naked things. From learning experiences to expressions of passion to desperate need, the reasons vary widely. Some hide it, some flaunt it. Some do it for pleasure, some for attention, some only for money or to please others. Sometimes, it's the most obvious artists whose work is nearly erotica anyway, other times it's the last artist you might expect. (See our next Blue Monday for a potential example)
For our inaugural episode, let's not focus on any one artist - let's go with a theme. Superman Artists. I'm sure there's lots more out there. It's a new feature on a new blog, so no lengthy research is involved. Just 3x3 pics from 10 Superman Artists, ranging from Joe Shuster to Bruce Timm - the artists who brought us the first Superman, and the modern animated Superman. These are two of the most famous blue art creators among the comics pros - Joe Shuster due to publication of a book not long back calling attention to his fetish art, and Bruce Timm due to the publication of his own collection of paintings and drawings. I'm only using one example from each artist here, and zero context information for this quick review.
