Description

The Lord of Light Art Series was envisioned and designed by Barry Ira Geller and legendary comic book creator, Jack Kirby, based upon Geller's screenplay. Each rendering was drawn with incendiary brilliance by Jack and inked with devastating intensity by Mike Royer.

Each Kirby architectural masterpiece was created both as a film set design and theme park illustration. Each of the pieces portrays the same panoramic, roving birds-eye view style Jack was famous for, ranging from the power of Captain America and Fantastic Four, to the majesty of Thor and the New Gods. As depicted in Wired Magazine May 2007, prints of the Lord of Light pieces were used by CIA spies to secretly free six American Hostages from Iran in 1979. This was the subject of the recent Hollywood film, Argo.

This example, Faces of the Gods, is one of the original 16 Lord of Lights pieces drawn by Kirby in 1978.
