This 6 x 9" art features Jack Kirby's classic villain DARKSEID (from his New Gods series,of course) who is shown prowling the heights of Armagetto (see further description below). To make this comic art original I printed out a lightened version of Kirby's pencils (shown in the last photo) onto a piece of bond paper and glued it to Crescent illustration board. Then I added the background, title, and inked everything to make the final scene. Inks are done with permanent pigment markers.
About Armagetto: it's a fictional location within Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythology, specifically the capital city and primary living area for the working class, or "lowlies," on the war-torn planet Apokolips. It is situated next to the planet's massive, planet-consuming fire pits, which provide its power and light. The city is depicted as a harsh, oppressive environment where the masses labor under the rule of Darkseid, the planet's tyrannical ruler.
