#JackedKirby - Thundarr the Barbarian... Kirby Style!!! 💥💥💥 So looking for recommendations once again I got a great one from my buddy @al_boulder in Thundarr the Barbarian! One of my childhood favorites, Thundarr is unique in the sense that most people remember the show but have no idea Jack was an integral part of its creation. 💥💥💥 The genius idea of a show came from Steve Gerber, famed creator of Howard the Duck. Working alongside artist Alex Toth, Gerber got the green light from Ruby Spears for his post-apocalyptic fantasy cartoon opus to be created. But Toth has to bow out due to other obligations... so Toth and Gerber both recommended Jack for the task of creating concept art & character one sheets! 💥💥💥 This particular piece of art features the three main characters: Thundarr, Princess Ariel and Ookla the Mok done by Kirby! (Pic 1)This layout was eventually finished and colored, and would be used as cover art for VHS versions of the series years later (pic 2). The show ran for two seasons and is a staple for 80s babies who grew up on Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of cereal on a TV tray in front of the boob tube!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Thundarr #ThundarrTheBarbarian #OoklaTheMok #PrincessAriel #RubySpears #SteveGerber #AlexToth #KirbyAnimation #Cartoons #80sCartoons #SaturdayMorningCartoons #80sBabies #KirbyRecommendations #PromoArt #ConceptArt https://www.instagram.com/p/B-A1kiMhEuC/?igshid=1u1ly1cc13ng
