Metropolitan Museum of Art CopyEach comic from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibit will come with a certificate of authenticity-
It is with great pride that Metropolis Collectibles, Inc. presents the following comics exhibited in the highly viewed Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy of 2008. The exhibit examined the influence on fashion of the costumes of superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Captain America, Hulk, The Punisher, Iron Man, Ghost Rider and Spider-Man as represented in comic books, film and television. I am very proud to have had comic books exhibited in the Met, the premiere museum in the United States. It was long overdue and something I know will happen again in my lifetime. I worked with Batman Begins executive producer Michael Uslan to have comic books incorporated into the exhibit. I believe the comic you have in your hands holds a special place in comic history and should be appreciated for its uniqueness as the Metropolitan Museum Copy.
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!
