DESCRIPTION
Pg. 18; Jack Kirby pencils, Chic Stone inks; image size 16" x 22.75"
We sold two early J.I.M pages by Kirby, in auction, collectively for $56K, consider this a bargain!The King's work on this page from Journey Into Mystery #105 provides a masterclass in composition, done only the way Kirby can. From the cinematic first panel, with Mr. Hyde and the Cobra framed by Thor's muscular legs, to the final panel, where the Thunder God attempts to subdue both of the baddies at the same time, Kirby displays his absolute control over the page, leading the action perfectly, telling the story seamlessly from scene to scene. The underlying plot in this issue concerns the potential romance between Thor's alter-ego, Dr. Donald Blake, and his love interest, Jane Foster, which is slyly inserted into these action panels without skipping a beat. Another great Kirby page from the Marvel Age.

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.
