Popular Post RICKYBOBBY Posted December 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Hello all! This year has been a bummer as I have been selling a lot of art this year (not by choice) and was sad to see some pieces go. So being able to add this Jack Kirby - Bill Everett Thor piece is a great joy. Enjoy and happy holidays! http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1442647 RickyB Edited December 22, 2017 by RICKYBOBBY SquareChaos, thehumantorch, KirbyJack and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the image of art directly on the boards vs a link to caf? If that is what you are asking I personally like driving people to my CAF gallery. They can always check out the few other pieces I have if interested! Catwoman_Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Gotcha. A pic plus a "Click for hi res and more pics" link would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't clear out old pics I don't want to upload to a new post. Just not worth the time. Strange. Since the new boards I find it super easy to add an image. While I am happy if folks go to the caf page - I always try and post the image here and appreciate when others do too. Btw - love the thor page. One day I hope to add a kirby thor page to my collection. Hopefully it will be as nice as what you got @RICKYBOBBY.

Do you recall any examples where you went "meh" I do not have examples on hand. Generally, it seemed like Everett tried to take a bit more of an illustrative approach, adding more textures and details/hatching that weren't part of the essential raw Kirby power. Also, stuff is a bit more angular with Everetts' inks on Kirby than I prefer. Don't get me wrong, it's all very polished and it's easy for me to see why people like this pairing (as do I on this page in question). Some people really like Syd Shores inks on Kirby and I can't stand it as it's too feathered and soft. I sold my Captain America 108 cover years ago because of this (you're welcome Glen Gold!). Having said that, I admit that I really like Wood on Kirby from Skymasters, even though it's likewise very heavy handed and softens up Kirbys' power pencils a great deal. In the end, it's all just personal preference. And to repeat, this particular Kirby/Everett page is a home run! Scott SquareChaos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everett struggled with alcoholism so a lot of the time he was hastily going through the inking to meet deadlines. Especially when drawing over Kirbys layouts on TTA - the art just didn't stand out. But for whatever reason on their short stint on Thor 168-175 they created some brilliant looking art. Not sure if they worked more closely together during this time but whatever they were doing - it was honestly brilliant. Almost every page of Thor 171 is a masterpiece.

mtlevy1 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Great page! I am still after examples from Thor 171, 172 and 175 That said the run is 170 - 175 with Everett inks on 176 cover - don't believe there is any Everett in 168 or 169 RICKYBOBBY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
