Kirby Dynamics wishes you a happy 2012!

A Kirby Commission piece by Dan Adkins.

A Kirby Captain America pencil commission dated 1979.

Here’s a great scan sent in from a Kirby fan. It was labeled as a recreation inked by Bernie Wrightson, but thanks to Frank F. and Scott G. for letting me know this recreation was not done by Bernie Wrightson – actually this is the work of an artist named Gary Martin.

Thanks for sending in the correction guys, and I’d like to take this moment to say thanks to all of you out there who have followed and commented on the Kirby Dynamics weblog over the last couple years. I wish you and all your loved ones a very happy 2012.

A photo of an early Kirby comic strip — The Black Buccaneer from 1937. Written, penciled and inked by Jack, signed under the pen name of Jack Curtiss.

Photo of of the cover for Avengers # 12 (Jan 1965 ) Kirby/Stone.

Avengers# 5, page 9 (May 1963). Kirby/Reinman. The notes at the top of the page look like they are by Stan Lee. I suspect these are notes Lee wrote to himself as he looked through Jack’s story for the first time.

Spectacular Kirby Avengers splash. From Avengers # 2 (1963). Kirby/Reinman.

Merry Christmas everybody!
