#JackedKirby - An Explosion at Castle Rakenstein!!! š„š„š„ The Demon is one of our personal favorite Kirby series here at Jacked Kirby, and one of the definitive reasons we love it so much is the abundance of splash pages that Kirby incorporated into the run... especially the TWO PAGE beauties that litter the 18 issues of the series. Never one to waste one inch of space, Kirby was notorious for squeezing maximum potential out of every inch of layout, especially in these two page monstrosities! š„š„š„ Take this double splash that comes right after the opening splash page of #Issue13 (published Oct of 1973). Three consecutive splash pages to open an issue... and the amount of action and mayhem Kirby managed to squeeze into this double page is off the charts. We see Dr Rakenstein and his evil assistant Igor reeling from the explosions erupting in his lab around them... debris and equipment flying through the air, skeletons and lab samples scattered through the flames! And Etrigan is right there, taking it all in and trying to apprehend his nemesis! (Pic 1). š„š„š„ Pics 2/3 of this post are close ups of each half of the dual page spread... you gotta love the signature Kirby HANDS on Dr Rakenstein (pic 2) and the wonderful use of āKirby Krackleā to accentuate the flames around Igor from the explosions (pic 3). The craziest part about this spread has to be that The Demon himself is flying dynamically through the air in a death-defying move and yet he is one of the most underwhelming figure in the whole spread!!! (This pic of Etrigan IS AWESOME... it just pales in comparison to the rest of it!) š„š„š„ This is the series we discussed in Episode 65 of The Jacked Kirby Podcast as well as one of the series that Steve āthe Dudeā Rude pointed out of his inspiration to pursue a career drawing comics in Episode 70 of the the Jacked Kirby Podcast... listen to them both by clicking the link in our BIO!!! š„š„š„ #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #TheDemon #Etrigan #DrRakenstein #Igor #SplashPages #KirbySplashPages #DoubleSplashPages #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicsOfIG #TheJackedKirbyPodcast #SteveRude #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #DC #DCComics https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Vf0lrhxxG/?igshid=6q4ppn3qssc0
Iāve always liked Steve Rudeās art. Heās had a tough couple of years with a son who needed major surgery. Heās got a Kickstarter going for a sketchbook collection of five years worth of commission and convention art. Check it out!

āThe ABCās of The Jokerā - W is for āWorldās Finestā: Ever since 1940ās Worldās Fair Magazine and Worldās Best Comics issue 1 in Spring of 1941, Batman and Superman have been known as āWorldās Finestā in DC Comics and close allies long before they were seen as enemies, popularized in Frank Millerās āBatman: The Dark Knight Returnsā. Whether in their decades long publication āWorldās Finest Comicsā or in āImaginary Storiesā (todayās Elseworlds), the Man of Steelās bright exterior and the Caped Crusaderās dark shadows were juxtaposed just right to create a brilliant story. A great example that also features our highlighted villain comes in David Gibbons and Steve Russās three issue arc āWorldās Finestā from 1990. When Lex Luther and The Joker have devious schemes up their sleeves, they decide to strike them in opposite cities: Lex in Gotham City and Joker in Metropolis. Superman and Batman decide to handle their respected rogue in the otherās home town. While Supermanās methods are drastically different from Batmanās and our celebrate hero is more than territorial about Gotham, the two have to work together to stop their greatest enemies all while discovering they arenāt as night and day as they expected. The Clown Prince of Crimeās antics and mannerisms illustrated by Rude play up the 'clownā in his name but still shows off his devilish qualities, bringing another interpretation to this classically told character. āš¼šššš
