Description
Jack Kirby Silver Star: Graphite Edition Book Cover/Presentation Drawing Original Art (c. 1977). This super spectacular presentation drawing is considered to be among the largest finished pencil pieces that Kirby did, and it's showcased prominently on pages 4 and 5 of Mark Evanier's fabulous monograph, Kirby, King of Comics, Abrams, 2008. There is also a well-known photographic portrait of Kirby posing with this piece at his drawing board (note: this is shown below, but not included with the item).This landmark drawing was recently spotlighted again as the cover of Silver Star: the Graphite Edition, TwoMorrows, 2006. The book notes that this was one of two drawings included with the movie screenplay done by Kirby and assistant Steve Sherman in 1977, and that the art was intended to help potential investors visualize the concept.
Silver Star's pose is similar to that used for the published cover of issue #1 when the series saw print in the early 1980s.
Meet Morgan Miller -- Homo Geneticus, and the New Breed of humanity, right from the source -- the unbridled imagination and the inspired, "naked" pencils of Jack "King" Kirby. This over-sized late masterwork by comics' cosmic visionary has an overall size of 19" x 24", and the art is in Excellent condition. Signed by Jack Kirby at the lower right.
