Jay Piscopo re-imagines Kirby’s unrealized concept Thunderfoot as an animated cartoon. Jay also gives us this great image of The Demon which is reminiscent of a Hanna-Barbera title card. Etrigan vs. Scooby-Doo anyone?

“During the Second World War, terrible things happened but what was never known was that the fate of the world depended on two soldiers: “The king of comics” Jack Kirby and “The worst film director ever” Ed Wood. Their mission was to embrace their unusual fate. Bats, dead Nazis, evil beings and a strange mentor will change their lives, but not in this world, it will all be on the other side of the mirror.”

The King & The Worst is a short Spanish film by David Galán Galindo, looks like a lot of fun. For more info take a look at David’s Blog (in Spanish).
