Love ‘em

I’ve got to see it!

For those unaware, Frank Giacoia was a master cartoonist, primarily known as an inker in the comic book industry. IMO he was among the finest, if not the very best inker on Jack Kirby’s pencils.To see more of my Name Drop Strips, please go to my Patreon page (link is in bio).

I bought the bluray and went years without even taking the plastic off. Finally watched it a couple years ago during a lockdown Disney watch through… and it might be the last time I ever see it.

Perhaps I should have said “Beautifully animated, yet traumatic film”.

Two multi-panel pages with Morgan Edge meeting the Outsiders on the Zoomway.

Here’s a couple more pages from Lois Lane 119 (Feb 1972), art by Werner Roth and Vince Colletta, crossing over with Kirby’s Fourth World books. Here, the REAL Morgan Edge, not the clone we’ve been seeing in the Jimmy Olsen book up to now, meets up with the Outsiders (also seen in Jimmy Olsen).

Brings back very pleasant memories. I was 8 years old that summer, and picked up several of those books off the stands at the time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Kevin! (And nice Rangers shirt, too!)

Traumatic film!

Here’s a page from Lois Lane 119 (Feb 1972), art by Werner Roth and Vince Colletta, showing Darkseid, Simyan, and Mokkari crossing over from Jimmy Olsen and Kirby’s other Fourth World books.

Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane 119 (Feb 1972) cover by Bob Oksner and Dick Giordano. Another issue that crosses over with Kirby’s Fourth World, specifically with Jimmy Olsen, and non-Kirby appearances by Darkseid, Desaad, et al.

OMG!! To see it in person…

With JM and Sal I know it’s gonna be good!

I wasn’t a regular Spidey reader at the time, having subsequently only read a few, so I’m looking forward to this “new to me” run.

Thank you! I hope the same for you!

There’s a famous photo of Jack Kirby sitting in his living room and this album is clearly visible!

Quit smoking now.

All the Kirby-drawn stories from Black Magic are included in that S&K Horror volume you posted. Really great book. Essential, even.

Loved that run.

Yeah, I enjoyed that run a lot. Lots of Kirby concepts were used throughout, including some Kamandi stuff.

A masterpiece!

Dubbilex the DNAlien uses his mental powers to levitate a woman from her chair as Superman looks on.

Jack Kirby/Mike Royer splash page from Jimmy Olsen 146 (Feb 1972). I was always curious about the Dubbilex character and wish he’d been explored more in Kirby’s comics. #JackKirbyMonth
