#JackedKirby - Welcome to Lemuria! 🗿🗿🗿 So I am currently on a deep dive into Kirby’s Eternals series from the late 70s and I am FLOORED by the amount of beautiful splash pages and unorthodox layouts he used to illustrate this series! When you have a concept that is all about Gods, Monsters and the history of the world the art is gonna be big... and Kirby utilized every inch of the pages at his disposal. 🌊🌊🌊 Take this beautiful underwater city that Deviant Krona And Eternal Thena travel to in #Issue8 of the series (published in February of 1977). This is the sunken city of Lemuria, a Deviant stronghold and major city for the villainous race in the Eternals world. But the lost city of Lemuria was discussed in Marvel comics before, in Sub Mariners late 60s series. It is also utilized in the many “Cthulhu’s Mythos” based on the works if HP Lovecraft. 🗿🌊🗿 As Krona and Thena approach in their sub we see a giant stone face on the bottom of the ocean floor (Pic 1), which a door opens and the ship entered through one of its eyes. Inside we get the magical, mystical world of Kirby’s Lemuria!!! 🌊🗿🌊 Once a proud city of the Deviants above the waves, the city of Lemuria was sunken during the Great Cataclysm or the Second Host of the Celestials. When the Celestials came to Earth to check on the progress of everyone, the Deviants fought them... and as a punishment the Celestials laid waste to their city and sunk it to the bottom of the ocean! They rebuilt it below the waves and we get an awesome full page splash of the city in all of its glory in this issue (Pics 2 in color and pic 3 pencils). Look at all that detail and amazing landscape!!! This series is loaded with amazing art, but this underwater page really puts the SPLASH in Splash Page🌊🌊🌊!!! #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Eternals #TheEternals #Deviants #Celestials #TheSecondHost #Lemuria #KirbySplashPage #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #IGComics #ComicsOfIG https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2fB_vBsS8/?igshid=14jtc8r9oeska
