#JackedKirby - The Insectons!!! 💥💥💥 I feel like Jack’s work on Captain Victory is derided for no apparent reason... because the artwork is FIRE! I don’t even understand how people could look at the splash pages located throughout these 13 issues and ever say “nah man... he lost it by then”. I just don’t get it. 💥💥💥 Take this page from #Issue5 of the Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers (July of 1982) that features some invading Insectons (the main villains of the series) as they run up Captain Victory and his crew... look at the detail and design in each of those Insect Faces!!! Especially the main character of the page, who turns out to be the new “Regent” of the hive... kinda like the head Insecton in charge! He is amazing to look at. All the appendages and detail are just amazing! 💥💥💥 What I think Kirby does really well here is blue the line between insect & robot. As much as you know these are organic insect creatures you also get a very robotic vibe about their appearances... I think it’s the gear-like shapes and angles that do it, but they look like they are insect-robots. I wonder if this is where the Transformer creators got the idea for the INSECTICON line of insect robots that first appeared in 1986. Wouldn’t be the first time one of Jack’s ideas would be pillaged by another form of pop culture... 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #captainVictory #captainvictoryandthegalacticrangers #Insectons #PacificComics #80sComics #Comics #Comic #ComicBook #ComicBooks #ComicsOfThe80s https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yX4F0hvn8/?igshid=1uho8mautgarf
