Jack Kirby - Original Cover Art for Black Cat Mystic #59 (Harvey, 1956). Kirby's contributions to the comic book industry have been well documented. Yet when you see some of his more obscure work you still can't help but marvel at the love that he must have felt for the medium. Regardless of the assignment, he put his heart into the project and turned out another great image such as this one that shows a "strange boy" "erasing himself from sight!" Kirby's sci-fi art has always been popular, and this piece contains all of the elements that make them so much fun to look at. This piece is in great condition with minor staining and use of white-out. There is a very small piece missing from the bottom right corner and some pin holes in the top margin area. A few of the stats were missing, and so Heritage Comics has had this exciting piece professionally restored in order to present it in a way that best reflects the original intent of the artist. The replaced stats include the text box at the bottom, the comics code, the "Strange Suspense Tales" blurb, the "Thrill Adventures" logo, the "Cat" part of the title immediately below the logo, the Sept. stat, and the 10 cent stat. The overall size of this large piece of art is 14.25" x 22" with an image area of 13" x 18.5".More information about Jack Kirby. See also: Kirby, Jack, Jacob Kurtzberg, Kurtzberg, Jacob Artist.
