#JackedKirby - Vira x Vera... Moments In Time!!! 💥💥💥 One of the most interesting ongoing themes of Jack’s 2001: A Space Odyssey monthly series at Marvel Comics has to be the dichotomy between the past and the future throughout its run... many of the stories move back and forth through time, but in #Issue2 we see the same main character at two completely different junctures in history!!! (Pic 1) 💥💥💥 In #Issue2 (published in January of 1977) we meet Vira The She Demon, a fierce warrior during a Stone Age time period. Right from the opening page (Pic 2) of the Issue Jack establishes her as a fierce and powerful female... something he has been known to do in many of his works with his female characters! 💥💥💥 Later on in the issue we meet Vera Gentry, a space explorer and astronaut in a much more technologically advanced future.... and clearly a far off descendant of Vira from the first half of the book! 💥💥💥 One of the coolest things Jack got to do with this experimental series was ply with the ideas of time and space travel... and the idea that people who exist at completely different moments in time could be connected... and the thing that ties it all together is the ever present MONOLITH. 💥💥💥 This series is one of Jack’s most underrated works... and what’s sad is that it will probably never be reprinted again due to lapsed copyright agreements between Warner Brothers, Hutchinson Publishing and Marvel Comics to utilize elements from the Stanley Kubrick movie and Arthur C Clarke novel!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Vira #ViraTheSheDemon #Astronaut #KirbyOuterSpace #KirbySciFi #2001 #2001aspaceodyssey #ArthurCClarke #StanleyKubrick #2001aspaceodysseycomic #2001aspaceodysseycomics #2001aspaceodysseycomicbook #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Copyright #LicensedComics #comicbookadaptations #Adaptations #MovieAdaptations https://www.instagram.com/p/BvNfPifhVah/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i3q44ww44akg
