Really nice piece, congrats!
This belongs (and someday I'm sure will be) in a museum. An honest-to-gosh Kirby Romance confessional -- how the heck did this survive???
Very cool. And kind of frightening, too.
Awesome splash - makes me want to hunt down the book!
How have I never commented on this before?
Incredible and beautiful. A true masterpiece.
Wow, this one radiates tension. And so beautifully drawn. And from 1950 !!! Amazing.
Quite cool.
Beautifully drawn and extraordinarily tense - this is halfway between a romance page and a splash from the Demon! A really lovely thing to have found.
This is an amazing find and a piece of history. I just love the big patterns of light and dark on the page and the design Kirby put into every detail, such as the tree bark, the man's shadow in the upper left, the fold patterns in the clothing, and of coruse the woman's hands and face. Even the staging of the small characters at the bottom is right on the money and screams Kirby.
I somehow missed this for four years. It's just terriifc - pre-code, so it reflects all the emotions, and it isn't aimed at kids. I love all the things already mentioned in the comments but just wanted to point out that her belt would look pretty good on Princess Zanda, Morgan LaFey or Thena of the Eternals.
Fantastic piece!
A rare example of this genre...Kirby's women were so easily identifiable.
I so much loved the texture of the inking on these pages. Just beautiful.
