Fantastic Four Annual #2 - Pin Up - Jack Kirby 0

[RICKYBOBBY]

Hello all and happy New Years!

Thought I’d share this last piece I have added for the yea r. I really have loved the early Kirby Pinups and Masterwork Pinups. They don’t come up for sale often and when they do , they usually cost mini fortune.

Thanks for looking and I wish everyone a safe and happy new year!

Thanks and I agree! I mean he is her creator - can’t get better IMO

Thanks! And the piece is a large twice up page. Silver age glory!

Dreamy!

[Superhero]

Really nice!  Congratulations.

Chic Stone's brushwork isn't too shabby, either.  Look at the heavy line-weight he used to outline the figure, varying it at the wrists & ankles, shoulders, and top of the head.  Just beautiful.  Makes the figure really pop off the page (and out of the background).

The Kirby/Stone collaboration is hard to beat.

Fantastic piece!

I agree with you 100%. Marvel did a good job  of picking Chic Stone for all those early Kirby Pin Ups and Masterworks Pin Ups. They are all absolutely fabulous!

Some people messaged me asking me about this piece as it was for sale for a bit on a prominent dealers website. It didn’t look like this when it was for sale. The piece was fixed up by Robert Dennis and I thought I’d post the before and after picture. He did a great job and happy with it.

-removed printer ink, reattached stat, lightened the page up a few tones.

So cool..thx for this! Strange how the stat is attached here but when it was auctioned at Heritage in the early 2000s it was gone.
