Honestly, the original cover on the left is SO MUCH BETTER!! Baffling decision to replace it.
Jack Kirby & Joe Sinnott’s cover art for 1966’s Fantastic Four #52 featuring the first appearance of The Black Panther in his original costume, next to the published version with T’Challa in his redesigned fighting togs.

Corporate cowardice
And 4 of the top 5 were co-written/co-produced by him!
Mighty Marvel 1975 Calendar (which also works for this year). Art by Jack Kirby.
Another month, another calendar. Here’s the Vintage Horror Comics calendar for September, art by the great Lee Elias. Let Spooky Season begin!
Well, this sucks.
Howdy, bud!
Happy September! Here’s the Classic Marvel Black Light Posters calendar for this month. This one is special to me, because I used to have this full size poster hanging in my room as a kid. I love it still! Art by John Romita.
Well, at least we agree Jerry sucks 😂
Not in Jerry’s lifetime, for sure.

It's also Jack Kirby's birthday. The word genius is one that’s often overused, but if the comic book business has ever produced a genius, Kirby was it. Happy Birthday, Jack. Hope you're having fun sailing across Creation on your surfboard of imagination. And thank you for all you've given us.
Happy Birthday, Jack Kirby! (It's the Promethean Giant spread from New Gods #5, colored three different ways, followed by the original art from the artists edition. The weird orange one is my favorite. I dunno!)
Da lovely-uh Lennon-uh sisters
Happy Birthday to the king of comics himself, Jacob Kurtzberg a.k.a. Jack Kirby! #jackkirby #dccomics #marvelcomics #heavymetal #comics #graphicnovel #dc #marvel
The PROPER way to celebrate Kirby's birthday is to go out and punch a Nazi.
We remember artist, writer, veteran, creator, and legend - Jack "the King" Kirby - born on this day in 1917.
Cleanse your timeline with the most wholesome Velvets cover ever. Worth watching all the way through.
Yeah, there aren’t many solo Superboy collected volumes. In fact, this might be the only one… but there are lots of ways to read Flash.
Happy hunting!
I love both, but I’d probably recommend reading the Flash one first. (But you should read both!)
I prefer to read them in the order they were released. You can kind of see the various threads of the tapestry intertwining as it goes along.
The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa is only two blocks away from where we’re playing tonight at the legendary Cain’s Ballroom, so of course I had to visit. And it was incredible! Highly recommended if you’re ever in Tulsa.
I LOVE your coloring on these! 🤩
Happy #JackKirby Day!
Remembering the late artist Don Perlin, born on this date in 1929, with whom I worked when I was but a bean on a Captain Midnight paperback for Ovaltine — and with whom I was *supposed* to work on a Scarecrow comic for Marvel until the title was cancelled before the first issue could be published.
A poem, by me: thegorkogazette.com/2025/08/19/v...
Me three
Great Mike Ploog cover!
I used to think it was “Have yourself a party” 😔
Great selections!
New printing of old favorites = must have!!
I really want that BWS book even though I have all the comics it compiles.
What a cover!
Awesome 👊 Credit: Cosmic Code Authority
All Kirby All The Time!!
Wow, cool!
Their habitat taken away, so they gotta do what they can.
No, mid-cities
That’s good stuff!
Coyote captured on our doorbell camera last night!
Oh, yep sure was. I forgot. 31 years, somehow!
Oh very nice! I didn’t realize they were doing a series of BWS books. Love all that stuff!
Preordered a couple cool books from the Fantagraphics “We got robbed” sale. Looking forward to these!
Her brother, too
I actually like some of her songs!
That’s a cool idea. I bet it looked amazing in person. By all accounts, Lady Gaga seems really cool, a good person whose head is in the right place. Her shows look incredibly entertaining, and she’s a great actress too. I just wish I liked her music more. But hey, not everything is made for me.
Ooh that looks interesting.
They’re not nearly as expensive as FOOM 10. Can be found for under $100
Yeah they’re really cool! I need about 6 more issues of Amazing World of DC Comics, but there’s a Legion of Superheroes-focused one that’s hard to find and expensive
Yeah, I think they’re somewhat overpriced generally, which is why I only have a few issues.
Friends Of Ol’ Marvel - Marvel started their own fan club in 1973 and this was the magazine you got when you signed up and sent in your money. I don’t know if it was bimonthly, quarterly or what, but it’s pretty cool.
Is Mike a relative of yours?? You’re both artists 🤷🏻♂️
Good question! Good guy and good cartoonist.

Enjoying my first pumpkin flavored, caffeinated beverage of the season (not from St*rb*cks, either btw). Suck it, haters! 😂
Mister Miracle 9 (Aug 1972) cover by Jack Kirby with Mike Royer. One of Kirby’s greatest single issues, “Himon” tells the story of how Young Scott Free escaped Apokolips to eventually become Mister Miracle. Powerful writing & art makes this one of the all-time best comics ever! #JackKirbyMonth
$45 Pick up. Lower grade but a hard book to find any copies of. Good one to keep an eye out for in the bargain bins.
I wish the Phantom was as popular over here. And I wish I knew Swedish.
The answer to all 3 is meatloaf.
Yeah, loved it!
Agreed. I try hit visit every time I’m in town.
Very cool! I don’t have a problem with that either. Solid reader copies are my sweet spot.
Comics have been acquired. The week is saved!
Did ya get any goodies?!
Two issues after Kirby left the title, Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen 150 (Jun 1972) wrapped up a few loose ends in a short Newsboy Legion back up story. Cover art by Bob Oksner. Interior Newsboy Legion story by E. Nelson Bridwell and art by Win Mortimer with Henry Scarpelli.
The car is fixed! So, today is New Comic Book Day for me! 🥲
The opening splash page of the Manhunter story from Adventure Comics 78 (Sept 1942) by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon as reprinted in New Gods 9 (July 1972). #JackKirbyMonth
Bucky said it was okay 👌
I was just thinking the same thing.
The cover of Adventure Comics 78 (Sept 1942) by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon as reprinted in New Gods 9 (July 1972). This was the only time Manhunter and Sandman appeared on a cover together. #JackKirbyMonth
Btw, it is neither shown nor implied that All-Widow had sex with the Prime One before killing him 😉
