#Excalibur (1981) compresses a thousand years of Arthur into one cursed symbol, the sword as identity and the kingdom as an ideal that rots under human imperfection. It distills Malory’s version into archetype, and a functional bridge to science fiction, sword and sorcery, and superhero comics.

#Superman #400, 1984 is really worth looking at because we had a collection of one page pinups from some 20th century comic book greats including Bill Sienkiewicz, Brian Bolland, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Howard Chaykin, Walt Simonson, Jack Davis, Will Eisner, and Bernie Wrightson.

#CNN was kind enough to invite me on to talk about the record sale of #Superman #1. The whole crew was incredibly professional and I thoroughly enjoyed their questions. I, of course, made sure to credit Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster for creating the superhero genre.

Journey Into Mystery 1 1952 has a few of those Get Muscles Quick ads with the Charles Atlas one shown on the left, and issue 2 has a satire short comic story with art by... Russ Heath? of the muscle density potion gone wrong.

I love the idea of the grandmaster of comics looking at his creations, and acknowledging its beauty, power and grace. Long live Jack Kirby.
