#JackedKirby - Happy 79th Bday Mike Royer!!! 🎂🎂🎂 Happy 79th Bday to one of Jack Kirby’s best (and also rumored to be one of his personal favorite) inker Mr Mike Royer!!! 🎂🎂🎂 Mike did some amazing work with Jack on his DC runs (I personally love his inking on The Demon, pic 2 here) and he followed him back to Marvel where he did a bunch of Jack’s stuff upon the King’s return. 🎂🎂🎂 I also included a few other personal faves of mine, a two page spread from Weird Mystery Tales (pic 3) and the cover of 2001 #issue10 which I love so much! 🎂🎂🎂 Pic 1 is Jack with Royer at the 1975 San Diego Comic Con.... he is so young! Pics 5/6 are Tommy and Mike meeting Mike at the Big Apple con a few years back. It was an honor! 🎂🎂🎂 Mike is the consummate pro, not only by be an amazing inker but by also lettering and pencilling himself. He also had a very long career working for Disney designing retail packaging and stock art for use on everything you can imagine. I actually own a piece of his Winnie the Pooh original art (it’s at the framer... this is Mike!) and has some amazing stories of his 50 years in the biz! Happy bday Mike!!!! Hopefully we will have you on the Jacked Kirby podcast soon! 🎂🎂🎂 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MikeRoyer #Inker #HappyBirthday #79YearsOld #DC #Marvel #Comics #Comic #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicOfIG #SDCC1975 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCe7cYhZaJ/?igshid=kb98awfcgkxu

#JackedKirby - Hulk Eyes... 👀👀👀 This is our first post of 2019 so I want to dig a bit deep... so I went to the under appreciated classic series The Eternals for a panel/page. But the reason I chose this particular series is because although it was one of Jack’s final series at Marvel it features one of his most classic creations... THE HULK!!!! 💥💥💥 In #Issue14 of the series (published in August of 1977) Ikaris and the other Eternals come into contact with the Incredible Hulk himself, and he isn’t in too good of a mood... a fierce battle ensues before any teaming up of all these good guys could happen. But instead of focusing on the fight, check out this awesome interior page instead... 💥💥💥 You see, this isn’t the REAL Hulk that we all know and love... this is a ROBOTIC HULK!!! This robot has been cosmically powered by the Uni-Mind and it is brought to life in and exquisite page (pics 1/2). 💥💥💥 But the highlight of this page is the top right panel in which the Robot Hulk comes to life with an opening of his eyes... Kirby used a close up of the eyes surrounded by his signature “Kirby Krackle” to enhance the experience of the cosmic powers flowing through him for the comic reader!!! Pics 3/4 show the inks (courtesy of Mike Royer !!!) and colored version of the panel... it’s pure perfection! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #TheEternals #TheHulk #TheIncredibleHulk #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #IGComicBooks #KirbyHeroes #ComicsOfIG #UniMind #MikeRoyer #RoyerInks https://www.instagram.com/p/BsHeHPUhISv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17kykpcnsid9v

#JackedKirby - Half Man, Half Demon... All Kirby! By 1974 Jack was finishing up one of his coolest projects, The Demon... and the funny part is that he never wanted to do the book in the first place. After DC stripped down his 4th World titles as well as OMAC, they asked Kirby for a horror themed series. He wasn’t really intrigued at doing this... but then he was struck with the idea for Etrigan and ran with it. The results are amazing! . Throughout the life of the series we saw many macabre things in its pages... monsters, witches, demons, killers... you name it, Etrigan fought it. But the coolest part of the series has to be the dichotomy of the main character. On one hand we have Jason Blood, resident of the 20th century and regular dude. But deep inside he possesses the power of Etrigan the Demon, a magical monster conjured by the great magician Merlin to battle the evil witch Morgan Le Fey back in the Camelot days! . Throughout the series we saw Jack balance the delicate game that exists between Etrigan and Jason’s existences. But this is never captured better than in the opening splash page of #Issue16 from January of 1974... which also happens to be the last issue of the series. . Jack does a masterful job of illustrating the duality of the two characters in one powerful headshot, Split right down the middle of the face. On the left we see Jason’s stern good looks and red hair with the white streak in it... and on the right we have the yellow skinned, horned head of Etrigan with his blood red eyeball. Even the background is split, with the fire behind Jason featuring considerably less Kirby Krackle then behind Etrigan. Simply beautiful... a great way to end the series. . #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #JasonBlood #Etrigan #TheDemon #SplashPage #KirbySplashPages #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #IGcomics #ComicsOfIG #instaart #mikeroyer #RoyerAndKirby #InstaComics #igcomiccommunity
