Description:
Jack Kirby and Marvin Stein Race For the Moon #2 Complete 5-Page Story "The Thing on Sputnik 4" Original Art (Harvey, 1958). When it came to drawing far-out, mind-blowing, cosmic concepts, few comic book artists could equal Jack "King" Kirby. Kirby's fifties and sixties science fiction/fantasy yarns for DC, Harvey, Atlas, and others laid the groundwork for his famous Marvel Age fusion of appealing monsters and flawed anti-heroes. Each page of this sublime chiller has an image area of 12" x 18", and the art is in Very Good condition. From the Joe Simon Estate.

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.
