I wonder if the No Stan[ding] sign is intentional. It's a hell of a powerful, dynamic Kirby splash either way!!


I like to think it was intentional, but who knows. Interestingly, just those letters "No Stan" are inked in a different ink (almost looks like marker/pen) than the rest of the page which is typical brush work. Would love to ask Mike Royer about that one day.

I like the Kirby infuences for the future facades and pipes.  It reminds us of the Kirby street scenes he used to do of old New York.  Marra's imagination goes wild and creates this world that tells a full story.  The rampant drug use, hookers, and the ships up above all frame the innocent fish out of water at the center of all this.


Haha, fish out of water for sure! Definite Kirby/SPAIN love child going on here

Your posting piqued my interest so I asked the best expert - Wendy Everett.  Her gracious response:

...Several years after my mother died, my father had a relationship with a woman named Judy Roman (Taylor may have been her maiden name – she was divorced with younger children) ...mystery solved!


Wow. Incredible. Thank you so much for digging into that, that's amazing!

1 + 1 = 3  Pretty cool how the pagination created this special meaning for you - congrats on the acquisition...you could make quite the display with the pages and the Kirby memorabilia!


Mark, seems like you are very knowledgable about Bill Everett. Any idea on the "Judy Ann Taylor/Roman" meaning on all of these Thor issues?

I think I was 28, in the late 80's when we started visiting the Kirby's and buying art.

I was wondering, if you only met him once, how did u get the picture signed?


Roz snapped the photo, and then about a month later he sent me a package with the photo, a note, and a Captain Victory lithograph and blew my little mind. Has there been anyone better than Jack Kirby!??!

Major congrats, John! As a fan who also has a decades-long collecting goal of reuniting an Everett-inked sequence that I've loved since childhood, I applaud your success in making this happen. FWIW, I think the auction price for this Kirby/Everett splash was reasonable, and it's great to see the page coming home to the collection that loves it. It's true that every time a comic art collector acquires a long sought grail, you hear a bell, and an angel gets his wings.


Thanks Drake! FWIW, one person's "reasonable" is another's "anxiety induced chronic insomnia."
Haha, but still, no regrets.
