By James Coats (1976-)
6x9 in., ink on board

Comic creator James Coats produces the self-published, Kirby-esque cosmic comic series “Galaxy Gods.” Each 44-page issue is in the style of the Silver Age classics. Coats describes his style as compressing Jack Kirby's "kinetic punch" and "Saturday-morning cartoon adventure" into an energetic and visually striking form.

Coats made some original art pages from issue 1 & 2, as well as some character commissions, available during the 2025 Kickstarter that released issue 2.

This character (echoes of the “Thing”) is Goom, Prince of the Rock Lords.
