Panel 3 is a masterpiece of design. No one but Toth could have made that panel.
A real grail. I remember when Marvel ran a muddy reprint of this in Savage Tales. Never expected to see the original!
Holy smokes, the witch, the face in the fumes, graveyard scene, the haunted eyes of the protagonist... this one has it all. And I guess I'm a beneficiary of the trade you made for it, which I can now understand seeing what you got. Salut!
For me it's panel 1 that exudes the majesty of Kirby's imagination. I mean, what the hell? There's a human-style institutional structure on a disintegrating asteroid that's crashing into a group of weird aliens or-- what's happening?!? The Night People story is one of my favorites from that run. Beauty!
Not an an Archie guy at all, ever, but this piece is giving me pause. This is compelling. Color me Wowed!
Once you start reading, you can't stop. Will you be posting the next week tomorrow?
Don't believe him, Katey! He's nothin' but a lowdown snake! (Weare is terrific, and severely underrated, nice pickup!)
Oh my stars, what did it take to land this masterpiece?!? We are up in the peaks here, Kirby at his lifetime prime with his greatest inker.
Yes! Welcome new Meeps Club member! Your orientation kit is in the mail. As you may know, the FOM (Friends of Meezl) gather every third quarter on the fourth night of the third month on a darkling plain, with a few scrub trees and a strangely shifting group of stone formations in the distance. As the newest member, you will be greeted initiated into the tea making practices. Please bring a packet each of salt and pepper from any Dennys location.
The expressions! The sense of life! He gives Roy Crane a run for his money in this aspect (while, of course, eventually far outstripping Crane in literary breadth and invention).
Kirby's ability to convey kinetic excitement on the page, beyond almost anyone else, is rooted in his "acting" skills--his characters always wear just the right expression for the moment they're in (in the pencils--sometimes the inkers lost it, but not Mike Royer, happily). Classic page!
Great art throughout this issue. Those bottom panels are the hype! Recalls the most frenetic panels of the Simon & Kirby era.
Wow, never seen it before and it's PRIME Corben. Looking forward to the resto!
Good eye on this one--the longer you look the more you see in it.
Zowie! Every panel is a knockout!
Congrats on a terrific pick up! I wanted to chase this page but it wasn't my time. Nice to see it in your collection. Panel two slaps.
Interesting to me that Jack, who had more capacity to cartoon staggering manifestations of energy than, approximately, any one who ever lived, was still unsatisfied, still needed to reach for greater shock and strangeness of technique when it came time to represent the Negative Zone and the Speedway and other worlds beyond our conception. In his use of collage he joins the contemporary fine art world of the 20th century. Story-wise, it's interesting that he destroyed edenic New Genesis, when it was Apokalyps that was riddled with atomic fire pits and despoiled of it's natural resources. Late career darkening of his perspective, perhaps. This is an important piece.
Shouldn't Quicksilver be relaxed on the side of the bed, with Wanda fully comforted, by the time the others have rushed into the room?
I imagine the printed effect was very nice indeed. I don't seem to have a copy of the magazine lying around unfortunately...
The creepiness of Tracy in that great panel one composition! And I love how he renders the television.
UnF*@kingBelievable!
Fine page from the underrated Flim-Flam storyline!
Wow! What an awesome Corben page! The scale and humor is exceptional.
Large Art! That must look GREAT in person! Kubert proves again he's THE war artist with the sheer adrenaline of panel 5.
Beautiful. I greet this Heath DPS with warmth and precision.
Not comment?!? Are you kidding me, this is cool AF.
All three panels are great. The vibe is so alien and yet goofy. Even the panel division, giving the largest panel to the simplest composition while squeezing huge amounts of phenomena into the narrow edge panels, is suggestive of comics from another world.
Hello Pal comics!?! someone needs to revive this title, stat, with the New Liberty Boys: Elon, J.D., and Tucker!
Very nice page, with a standout spacecraft panel! I'm glad to see it went to a worthy collection.
The landscape, of course, beautiful, but also panels 1 & 2, and the whole riot of circular shapes: that disorienting scary whimsical mysterious cartoon uncanny... it's just a perfect example. One of my favorite pages in your collection, and that's saying something.
