#JackedKirby - Jacks Back one Surfer... Finally!!! 💥💥💥 This is a fun post... one I have wanted to shed some light on for a second. Of all the glaring discrepancies that occur between Stan and Jack’s accounts of how things were created at Marvel, the Silver Surfer is one of the most egregious. Jack claims he came up with the concept 100% on his own, and Stan only found out about it after seeing the finalized art for FF 48-50. And of course Stan claims he had a lot to do with the creation of the character.... but here is the problem: Stan’s account actually contradicts HIS OWN ACCOUNTS! Previously he admitted in print interviews that he didn’t know anything about the Surfer till he seen him on the page and asked Jack “who’s that”. So this isn’t a case of Stan vs Jack, who claims what... it’s a case of Stan vs Stan, which time was he lying? 💥💥💥 Whatever the case, one thing was clear: Jack would NOT be the artist for the Surfer solo series that started in 1968. That honor would go to John Buscema, who drew the series with Stan writing. Some say this slap in the face to Jack prompted him to think about taking his talents to the Distinguished Competition. Whatever the case, with the series coming to an abrupt end in 1970 due to unexpected cancelation Jack was tasked with completing the final issue! 💥💥💥 Jack pencilled #Issue18 of the series from September of 1970. The story features the Surfer visiting the Inhumans “Great Refuge” only to be attacked by Maximus’s forces. An Inhuman vs Surfer battle... a perfect way for Jack to regain control of his beloved character!!! 💥💥💥 This great splash is one of the best pages in the book. Not Jack’s best Surfer, but that background is A-1 quality!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #Kirby #SilverSurfer #Inhumans #Marvel #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicsOfIG https://www.instagram.com/p/B74IneYhzKP/?igshid=1b3re2oawm2fr
