Marvel Comics will pay tribute to Jack Kirby with a series of variant covers in October drawn in homage to his iconic style.
“Before helping to create the Marvel Universe we all know and love, Kirby lent his genius to creating all manner of creatures for titles like Tales to Astonish, Journey Into Mystery, Strange Tales and more,” said Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso.
“We’re beyond thrilled to celebrate him and bring these characters back to the fore.”
