Kamandi #1 (1972)

Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth is another example of the timeless art and creativity of Jack Kirby. This series, produced during Kirby's time with DC comics, presents an alternate timeline of Earth where humanity is an endangered species and animals have mutated and evolved to become the dominant, warring rulers of the planet. On this cover for issue 1, the clear lines and classic Kirby characterization are evident, accented by the inks and letters of Mike Royer.

The Mighty Thor #126 (1966)

Iconic characters spring from the minds of iconic creators. Such is the case of The Mighty Thor, brainchild of comics legend Jack Kirby. As the cover of issue #126 aptly demonstrates Kirby's classic style translates particularly well to the revitalization of mythology to the modern age. Demigod trappings abound and otherworldly sinews strain as the Asgardian prince pits his Norse strength against the ancient Greek might of Hercules. Vince Colletta's inks bring the toil of combat to vivid life, as the titans cause the Earth to tremble in their battle for the affections of Jane Foster.
