Description
Kirby/Ayers pre hero magic!

I'm not generally a big Pre-hero fan - although I've recently had the opportunity to read some of those stories and have been very impressed by the writing and the artwork. But, this one is special. I'm a tax guy by day, so when I saw this piece, I set my sights on one day having it in my collection. The US has a worldwide theory of taxation for it's citizens and residents. This just proves that Stan Lee was once again thinking more broadly than everyone else in the early 60's. Again, Kirby/Ayers, and just spectacular!


And, for all of you code heads out there, this was created a few years after the enactment of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954!


Enjoy!

I'm amazed he can even stand up. He appears to have a spaceship glued or welded to the back of his headgear. An epic compositional fail in the background.

Whatever he takes, the Franchise Tax Board of California takes more. Great splash, Ron.

Awesome image. Pretty classic. I wonder if a print hangs in the IRS building.

Another historic addition to your TOS collection! Too cool! Even though these comics came out before my time, I was still drawn to them as a kid.

With death being nothing but a gimmick to sell more comics see (Superman 75 and the aptly named Phoenix), the only certainty in comics is taxes, which you have nicely summed up here. Congratulations!

Terrific Kirby splash, Ron! You have to hang this one in your office.

Thanks for revealing your secret identity with all of us Ron ;-) Fantastic piece and it was really nice spending time with you at SDCC this year!

There IS a bit of a resemblance… ;) Awesome pickup, Ron. Jack's pre-hero sci-fi work is sometimes underappreciated -- nice to see it getting more and more love! Plus, Ayers inked Kirby perfectly in these old yarns. As always, you've got a great eye!
