Hello, everyone! Unfortunately, Loki is keeping me from my collection for the next couple weeks, so I’m not going to be able to do my spotlights or #Thorsday posts until then. I’ll pop in for chats and reposts, though. But I’ll come back in a couple weeks with a doozy!
🍺😁🔨⚡️
Loki has Thor’s hammer in his thrall in this What If cover. Whatever will Thor do?!

Fantastic Four 90 (Sept 1969) cover by Jack Kirby/Joe Sinnott. This is the start of Kirby’s last multi-issue epic during his FF run (it was single issue stories afterward) and it’s a good one as The Thing is kidnapped by a Skrull and sold as a slave. And only one splash this issue, the opening page.
A Skrull disguised as Reed Richards uses some type of gas to subdue the Thing.

Lugosi's skid row films get a rough ride but I'm just thankful there's a legacy at all. Threadbare and endearingly barmy. And it's Lugosi. 1943.

This is Action Comics issue 480 page 8 (1978) by Curt Swan and Frank Chiaramante. Hawkman and Green Lantern are stuck in the JLA satellite fixing extensive damage from the rampaging Amazo Android. Superman was knocked straight out of the satellite into the ocean, but in typical Superman style, he bounces back with panache. Dolphins! He burst out of the ocean in a pod of dolphins, totally ready for summer. Sorry, Lantern and Hawk, you guys are stuck on space duty, no beach for you!

Daily 60s read. Unicorn is dying but Red Ghost makes him believe his injection will keep him alive. Forcing him to steal Stark's cosmic ray emitter so he can get his power back and create a super simian army. His originals were put down by the Soviets after he defected.

Happy #Thorsday everybody!🔨⚡️Thor’s half brother makes an appearance…LOKI! And more pigeons!🐦SQUAWK! Wouldya believe ice cream cars? With a cherry on top!🍦Loki gets too clever for his own good as he does. Oh yeah, KIRBY and DITKO cover!🚨😉Let’s get to it. Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks
This is the cover to Journey into Mystery issue 88, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Steve Ditko. The rainbow bridge straddles the gulf between Asgard and Earth, as Odin and the humans of earth are relying on Thor to save both. How dramatic! Of course the wizard is throwing a lightning bolt. Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Thor looks ready to handle the menace.

In the fall of ‘54 the Comic Code was created so that the govt wouldn’t shut down comics. This issue probably contributed to the downfall😅Holy moly Steve Ditko was one sick puppy!🕸️🪓This was made a Key Issue because of EXTREME TORTURE🐀Not kidding😬Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks #Horror
This the cover to Weird Tales of Suspense and Horror - The Thing number 14, drawn by Steve Ditko. The concept of this comic was horror stories told by a creature called The Thing. Man, they went really hard in horror comics in the 50s. Well, until the Code. Demonic monsters fly around the cover, tearing at a poor woman. She is left broken on the ground as an extreme close-up of the demonic creature stares at the viewer. This was the last of the pre-Code horror comics, and boy did it go hard.

Psst!✋Hey, you!👋🏼Yeah, you!🫵🏻Wanna see something cool? How about some Jack Kirby original art!🤩This page is from a passion product of his, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It started as a simple movie adaptation, but then turned into something more Marvel. Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicArt #JackKirby
This is an original art page from 2001 A Space Odyssey, drawn by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer, and written by Jack Kirby. A trio of scientists, led by Harvey Norton, sit behind protective glass, as they watch an alien held in a high tech room. She sits up to reveal she’s a Rigellian, a Marvel alien race. Harvey…has some impure thoughts. Kinda pervy, dude. “She” is an alien with an egg shaped head…

Happy #Thorsday everyone!
Don pretends to invent a bio weapon so the commies abduct him via a hypno gas that comes out of a camera. Thor has fun rubbing his hammer and blinding reds while freeing American scientists.

Happy #Thorsday everyone! REDS!😱After the Nazis they tried Red Scare stories but Commies don’t have the same evil panache. The Marvel Universe of Baddies is almost here tho, so less REDS, more Loki! This week is a love story about a god and his hammer.🔨❤️Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks
This is the cover for Journey into Mystery number 87 by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers. Thor has been captured by communists! He stands wrapped in electronically treated chains. Electronically treated! You couldn’t break out of that in the 1960s, no way! Will Thor find his way out? Carry on, dear reader.

First Kirby Krackle😁👍
writingguy.bsky.social Jason Helford @writingguy.bsky.social · May 14
There’s only one way to solve this problem…Open another portal to the 4th dimension and have Blue fight their whole army! DUH! And did you notice anything? No? Kirby Krackle origin page! That tasty last panel is a direct foreshadowing of Kirby‘s working style from decades later. MARVELICIOUS! 😋🍽️
Blue Bolt battles the invaders! He runs out from the fort to draw the enemy troops in position for his soldiers to fire their artillery. BOOM! They successfully repel the invaders, but more are going to be on the way. The leader has designed a dimensional portal, and convinces BB to go battle them on their home turf until his troops are able to follow. Sounds a little Suicide Squad to me. The portal that opens looks like something that Kirby drew in the 60s or 70s, with his organic shapes and Kirby Krackle. He really came out of the gates galloping.
