1st app of the Master Mold, 2nd Sentinels, Origin of the Beast; Jack Kirby cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)This second book in the trilogy that introduces the Sentinels into the world of the X-Men concerns the attempts of the mutant team to penetrate the defenses of the Sentinel stronghold in order to get to their leader, Master Mold. While this action ensues, Master Mold probes Hank McCoy's brain in an attempt to discover the identity of Charles Xavier, which gives readers a chance to learn the origin story of the Beast. As the issue wraps up, Bolivar Trask is being forced to create an army of Sentinels that will do Master Mold's bidding. Jack Kirby, Jay Gavin, and Dick Ayers created the amazing art for this important issue.
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.
