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!

I almost bought this piece! It was well bought based on how much it was listed at. Great score!

I have to agree. 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.

Bill had sobered up by the time he was on his last run of Sub-mariner .....regularly attending AA and doing great art..... a shame he went out so young.... he was only in his mid 50's. GOD BLESS....

Look under the unsorted, miscellaneous tab for the next big auction. It's not listed properly yet.

Thanks Bill .. I was able to find that! A page from Thor 175 from what it looks like.

Your page is magnificent. K I R B Y is the greatest, the absolute King of comics. Bill Everett on Namor and DD produced art too good for comics. When these 2 worked together on your page some sort of miracle took place. Thanks for sharing.

That last panel is so impressive (not to diminish the greatness of the other panels). What a terrific artistic pairing Kirby/Everett!

Second panel too. pop art at its finest.  Everett and Kirby were both masters of their craft.
