Drewsky Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 There was an episode of Comic Book Men where the Kirby heirs brought in a Black Panther page by Jack. I can't remember, was this the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Kirby had the courage to create and promote a Black character that all Marvel fans could admire and root for.He was a leader, a royal I would've fought for as a kid. He was a leader and extremely intelligent. And he looks ultra damn cool. A force of nature. These pencils are brilliant. I studied so many non inked Kirby art works. The JKC was instrumental in that pleasure. There is nothing like owning a piece like this one above. The Black Panther exploded in popularity because he is a character long overdue for recognition. Congrats to the mats on this one. Never sell this one man. RICKYBOBBY and Catwoman_Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICKYBOBBY Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks for the awesome comments everyone! And I really like the last comments made about Jack. Never meet him but in his videos he does seems really humble and peaceful. And to be creating black super heroes during those turbulent times is just a show of how far ahead he was even in his own time. Just a great overall human being.

I told him recently to SELL SELL SELL!!!!!! He wasnt gonna sell but i'm glad he finally did....... congrats. ( I had a hard time asking 12k for that just 2-3 years ago...) it's quite amazing how just a few years can change the market for certain pieces. it's certainly worth a lot now!) Glad it went to a good home. congrats! Edited March 24, 2018 by romitaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it went to a good home. congrats! Thanks Mike! Your buddy Mike thought about it long and hard before selling it. I think Black Panther is one Jack Kirby creation that hasn't got its due, until now. Going forward I can see him up there with Thor, Cap and FF. He also didn't do much BP art which makes this piece a little more special. There was a BP cover that just auctioned at comiclink for 20k. I heard back in 2009-2010 that cover didn't even hit a reserve price of 9500. Long time ago but I thought it was a weaker cover (it was Kirbys last on the run). And that sale is what mainly drove me to seal the deal on this beauty. Edited March 24, 2018 by RICKYBOBBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
