Some of the pieces done for the Wake Up and Draw event commemorating Jack's birthday... Chris Samnee does Black Panther Kirby-style...  Gene Ha does Forever Pee-Wee...  Ty Templeton does Destroyer Duck...  Cliff Chiang does Machine Man...  Jerry Ordway does Orion vs. Superman...  and supposedly Phil Hester was going to do 99 drawings himself today to honor Kirby's 99th, but these are the only ones I have seen...  -M |

mrp, the Jerry Ordway does Orion vs. Superman...was incredible piece of artwork done in Kirby style ... not to mention Chris Samnee who did the Black Panther piece was impressive enough!

Too much Superman, not enough Orion.

Jack Kirby's Kamandi Omnibus Hardcover – July 25, 2017
by Jack Kirby (Author)
See all formats and editions
Hardcover
$63.10
At last, DC presents the adventures of Kamandi, the last boy on Earth, in the popular Jack Kirby Omnibus format!
Kamandi-one of the few survivors of a Great Disaster that has destroyed civilization--must search for a safe haven in a world populated by bizarre mutated animals and other strange wonders! Considered one of Jack Kirby's most creative works, KAMANDI features a band of anthropomorphic supporting characters who accompany Kamandi as he searches for answers and adventure across the wastelands of Earth.
From one of comics' legendary creators, Jack Kirby's Kamandi faces danger from a giant, monstrous crab creature and an intelligent killer whale, and is hunted by the Sacker Company as a valuable intelligent human. In what is considered the series' greatest tale, Kamandi is forced to compete with the leader of a gorilla clan for the ultimate prize: Superman's costume!
This hardcover omnibus collects Jack Kirby's run on KAMANDI, THE LAST BOY ON EARTH #1-40.

Happy birthday, Mr. Kirby: That's really nice. Does anyone know anything about the artist - any recommendations of his own work? |
