DESCRIPTION
Pg. 2; Jack Kirby pencils, Dick Ayers inks; image size 12.75" x 18.75"There is nothing like classic Jack Kirby art, his style is instantly recognizable, the way he draws a face, the weight of his line, and his eye for composition, they are all the hallmarks of a true genius. Take for example this page from Tales of Suspense #11, each panel is a miniature masterpiece, Kirby may have been a bit chaotic in his early days but by the early 60s, he had worked all of the kinks out of his style. From the horse-drawn carriage to the overhead shot of the two men in the courtyard, and the masterful use of light and dark in the final panel, everything is in its place and it all comes together to create one heck of a Kirby page, from the time just before he and Stan Lee stumbled upon the formula that would rocket Marvel to the top of the heap in the Silver Age. Gaze upon this page in awe true believers, and witness the beauty of a master at work.
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.
Richard "Dick" Ayers was an American comic book artist and cartoonist best known for his work as one of the main inkers during the late-1950's and 1960's Silver Age of Comics, including some of the earliest issues of Marvel Comics' including Jack Kirby's The Fantastic Four. He is the signature penciler of Marvel's World War II comic Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, drawing it for a 10-year run, and he co-created Magazine Enterprises' 1950s Western-horror character the Ghost Rider, a version of which he would draw for Marvel in the 1960s. His career would span 7 decades until his death in 2014.
