bizarre Kirby WWII Nazi horror cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Jack Kirby distinguished himself during the wartime era by illustrating stories with titles like "The Strange Mystery of the Ruby of the Nile and Its Heritage of Horror" and did so with great aplomb, slowly honing his technique, which would continue to evolve throughout the time period, and well on through the history of the art form. His early work was the highlight of Captain America Comics, and this cover is no exception, the ramping up of the action and chaos that defined Timely's Golden Age offerings are on full display. Just like the cover announces, this book presents "4 thrilling adventures from the personal files of Captain America plus other great features," yeah, pretty much sums it up.

Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
