Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko cover & art; 2nd app. of Loki; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)Thanks to the recent bombastic Marvel movies, the world at large is now aware of the glory of Loki, one of the most flamboyant and nefarious of Marvel villains, here making his explosive second appearance in this classic issue. All hands were on deck for this issue, as Lee called on both Kirby and Ditko, plus stalwart Don Heck, to make sure this new franchise had the best, most dramatic art possible, to match his unsurprisingly bombastic story. The dynamic cover shows just what Lee was going for here: opera in broad strokes, mythology writ in bright red crayon. The results, of course, were historic, and Marvel had yet another hit on its hands.
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.
Don Heck was an American comics artist best known for co-creating the Marvel Comics characters Iron Man and the Wasp, and for his long run penciling The Avengers during the Silver Age.
