Description
Jack Kirby (and Possible Studio Assistant) Silver Surfer and Doctor Doom Large Pencil Sketch Original Art (undated). This stunning piece featuring everyone's favorite cosmic wanderer, the Silver Surfer, paired with the Silver Age's most fearsome villain, Doctor Doom, was previously sold in the 9/30/1992 Sotheby's auction, was in the collection of singer Graham Nash, and was then auctioned again by Sotheby's on 6/5/1998.It has recently come to light that some collectors feel Kirby may have collaborated with an unknown assistant on a group of artworks included in the Sotheby's auctions during the 1990s. While we don't have any firm information regarding another hand in this drawing, based on the information we've read, we acknowledge the possibility that Kirby himself may not have drawn this piece in its entirety. Though the specifics of Kirby's working process at the time are unknown, what is known is that these drawings were consigned to those Sotheby's auctions directly from Jack Kirby and his family.
