Description:
Jack Kirby and John Romita Sr. Ghost Rider #23 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1977). This awesome cover image spotlights Ghost Rider in a deadly confrontation with a grotesque waterfall creature conjured up by the maniacal Water Wizard. This suspenseful scene was not only rendered by the titanic twosome of Jack Kirby and John Romita, Sr., but this cover can also boast of being one of only three Ghost Rider covers illustrated by the "King." Important note as well, is that this cover, along with 2001: A Space Odyssey, are among the best Marvel covers drawn by Kirby before his eventual retirement from the "big two" comic book companies. This cataclysmic cover has an image area of 10" x 15", and was signed twice by Jack Kirby, and once by John Romita, Sr. and Stan Lee. The art is in Excellent condition.

Kirby, Jack: Jack Kirby (American, 1917-1994) : Jack Kirby has received world-wide recognition for his long comic book career and accomplishments. He is regarded by historians and fans as one of the major innovators and most influential creators in the comic-book medium, thus earning the nick-name "King." Among Kirby's many co-creations are Captain America, the Newsboy Legion, the Challengers of the Unknown, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Thor, the Avengers, the X-Men, Silver Surfer, the New Gods, and countless other memorable heroes and villains.
