Not a cover, but something Kirby scripted and drew (his wife Roz is credited with the inks in the GCD) that I recently discovered in Yellow Claw #2 (December 1956 cover date). Scanned for your viewing pleasure.

Check out the "mutant" lead story and the awesome 2/3 splash on page 3.

Hmmmm, don't think this is the last time that The King will use the "mutant menace" theme in comics.

 

Wonder if Stan Lee copied him in the famous AF14 mutant story/Prof X tryout.

From the GCD (but I find it a big stretch)

According to X-Men: Hidden Years (Marvel, 1999 series) #18 these mutants appear next behind the scenes with more mutants in Amazing Adult Fantasy (Marvel, 1961 series) #14, the mutants of this story are next seen in X-Men: Hidden Years (Marvel, 1999 series) #15.

Not 100% if this is Kirby,but the hands tell me yes?

 

I say yes. Of course, the last time I attributed something to Kirby a Joe Simon fan went upside my virtual head!
