The Mighty Marvel Comics Universe Marches On!

The latest Fantastic Four reboot movie is coming, and this weekend the Falcon takes over for Captain America.

Is Cap’s shield made from indestructible Adamantium or energy-absorbing Vibranium? Both?

This is my idea of Cap.

Joe Sinnott shall always be #1, but that was one incredible, masterful inking job done by Chic Stone.

The Two Jacks

Two comic book artists who had an uncanny ability to put whatever they wanted on paper, seemingly without effort, were Jack Kirby and Jack Davis. They were able to work so quickly, it was as if they had a “drawing nerve,” sending what was in their minds directly to their hands.

Davis left comics, except for MAD Magazine, to become perhaps the most successful commercial artist of all time. He was certainly the most prolific. This 1966 ink and wash drawing, borrowed from the Art of Jack Davis group on Facebook, was for a TV promotion of Guys and Dolls.

This pencil drawing was posted by Jack Kirby’s grandson Jermey on the Facebook group, Jack Kirby: The King of Comics.
