Adding Jack Kirby art to a CAF gallery on Kirby's birthday, classy. Congrats.

Fantastic page from a really fun issue!  Based on interviews, I think it still bugs Roy Thomas to this day that Jack made the Torch be Sol Brodsky instead of Roy.

A slice of Marvel history and an example of the fine line between genius and Merry Marvel Madness  !!

Fantastic way to celebrate The King's birthday.  With  a great two-page sequence, no less.  AND FRAMED TOO!!!!!

A timely post and a great set of pages. Love the smoke and fire effects Jack "Thing" Kirby created!

Very unique story and fantastic art by the King, great to have a two-page sequence!

2 - Posted on 8/29/2021

Well, Stan was certainly 'flexible' when giving due credit to the artists.

1 - Posted on 8/29/2021

Kirby really lets his soul shine through in that 4th panel. 

1 - Posted on 8/29/2021

Hilarious What if? page! It's fabulous that Stan and Jack and the rest of the Marvel Bullpen could laught at themselves! Great pick up!

1 - Posted on 8/29/2021

What if the original Marvel Bullpen had become the Fantastic Four? Don't ask, just buy it. These pages bring a smile to my face the way few other pages of art could. Cheers.

Absolutely titanic adds, Marcus - yowza!  What a treat to see pages from this book; 'What If...?' was always the book that had the biggest "fun factor" built into it, and the monthly publishing schedule allowed for tales we would never otherwise see (when deadlines had to be met and the more serious epics had already been 'What Iff-ed').  Was there ever a more self-referential issue than this one?  Uh, no, but that's what made this one so awesome.  I always love to guess at just how far the 'self-referential' thread extended, looking for clues in the dialogue to betray in-jokes or (even more dramatically) some tiffs, jabs, or ribbing (good natured or otherwise)...  Ben/Jack being told, "Your best lacks style and speed" on page 35, and him saying here, "This one could be a classic if only you'd stay out of it!".  Great stuff.  Thanks for sharing these with us, Marcus (and beautiful framing job for these)!

I just love seeing consecutive Kirby pages in the same collection. It must bring all the warm fuzzies seeing these together in a portfolio or on the wall. Kudos!

1 - Posted on 8/29/2021

Great page! That third panel is a straight FF Thing panel, and takes me right back. Glorious!

1 - Posted on 8/29/2021

Very timely add with the Marvel What If series now airing. Needless to say - a classic!

1 - Posted on 8/29/2021

You crazy!!

So so awesome!!

PLOTTERS! SCHEMERS! PURVEYORS OF EVIL! Great action and nice ot have the sequence. Love the florid dialogue. I think it is in the right collection! 

1 - Posted on 8/30/2021

What If I had the right words to describe these mind blowingly good Jack Kirby What If pages that Marcus posted...I'd be leaving a lot more comments like Marcus! lol. Duuuude - both of these are amazing...really love this one, thanks for sharing

1 - Posted on 8/30/2021

Mr Fantastic with that porn stache is so disturbing. At least there aren't any gold medallions nestled into his chest hair. Man, this was a great What If issue. Aside from the great Kirby work, I always enjoyed the creators as heroes stories they'd slip in here and there. It was like Not Brand Echh stories, or the like. Big congrats!

2 - Posted on 8/30/2021

It is rather true to say that Stan seemed to have the porn star look down pat in the period. Then again so had many others. He did get many great artists to shag off. Lol

powerful pièce action by the king !!!

1 - Posted on 8/30/2021

A fabulous page that typifies the enjoyment that comics could still offer back in the late 70's and puts the FUN in FUNTASTIC!

I love how Thing has Jack's fuzzy eyebrows. Brilliant!

1 - Posted on 9/2/2021

So glad they let Kirby draw this wacky and wonderful what if issue. So much to love about this! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Crawl mortal creatures on the ground below the King!

Two middle two Thing panels are especially fantastic, lovely page Marcus.

You clever collector. Talk about a double Grand surprise of a back to back Jack Kirby. I am happy for you and one day I will get your JRJR DD vs Pun sketch.

Wow! Pure Kirby magic.

Another Fantastic piece of History!!

These are fun historic pages to have, a perfect representative creative group of the times for this comic era.  Congrats on them.

A What If page by the king is a real treasure!!

The great classic Marvel stories

1 - Posted on 10/18/2023

This page is thick with wonderful double entendre - "plotters", "this one could be a classic" - sublime!!

1 - Posted on 5/23/2025

This is the kind of page that the Marvel empire was founded upon.

Also, I'll forever love Jack's Subby.
