We already have a thread in this forum dominated by Jack Kirby's Marvel covers:

This therefore is the thread for all of Jack Kirby's non-Marvel Silver Age efforts whether covers or interior content! So what do you have? Post them right here!

 

I'll start. Here are scans of a couple of my Kirby Challengers of the Unknown comics:

I believe these are Jack's only HOS covers.

.....not listed as a Kirby cover....but I'm seeing some Kirby there....maybe inked by Moreira ? The Kirby story is also the cover story.

You forget House of Secrets #11; don't have a copy but here's a picture courtesy of the Kirby Museum:

 

 

 

 

My favorite Kirby DC cover is House of Mystery #85.

Doesn't have to be covers though. I'm even more interested in those comics that have Kirby content without the cover giving a clue to that content.

One of the most relevant is Alarming Tales #1, with the prototype Kamandi-like story "The Last Enemy".

(Dont’ have it… )

Boy, if that doesn't look like a TOS or TTA cover.

[KirbyJack]

Except for the color palate, it really does.

Anyone know who inked it?

[Hepcat]

Here's a collection Harvey published as a Giant in the mid-sixties:

 

 

[vaillant]

I have it as well, I think it also features an unpublished Fighting American story, besides the reprints.

 

Do you have the Alarming Tales I mentioned? I’d love to have a copy some day…

....most likely, Stein. GOD BLESS...

P.S. It's rumored that Jack and his wife, Roz, inked some of the mid to late 50's stuff......they were some lean years compared to what he was accustomed to.

[vaillant]

Roz used to work as an inker for Jack, it has been reported in many occasions and yes, I think this happened mostly before the 1960s.

[jimjum12]

....I just got through checking Metro's site and they don't have an Alarming # 1.....and if they don't have it, it's a tough one. GOD BLESS...

[vaillant]

Well, not necessarily. They occasionally have tough books in a single copy which just sit there because of the price, or they may lack some more common issue. It also depends on the specific demand for a book at a given moment.

[KirbyJack]

I don't recall having a very hard time tracking down my low-grade copy, but it's true that one doesn't see them often.

[Hepcat]

Do you have the Alarming Tales I mentioned? I’d love to have a copy some day…

 

No, not that one. Sadly you can't have them all....

Great idea for a thread.

 

From 1957, Tales of the Unexpected #17, GCD credits Kirby for both pencils and inks.
