1st app of Kang the Conqueror; Jack Kirby cover & art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)The cover copy for this collectible classic declares that Kang the Conqueror "is destined to rank as one of the most unique villains of all time!" Stan Lee wasn't kidding, either. This first appearance establishes how the time-traveling Kang had already taken on the Fantastic Four in his earlier incarnation as Rama-Tut, while demonstrating how Dr. Doom inspiring his new persona. Kang the Conqueror would become one of the Silver Age's most influential figures. Of course, this first appearance also became a valuable part of modern comics history as Kang began playing a vital role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
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.
