Gigantor

Marc Basile fills us in on the story behind his latest pièce de résistance…“Around the time Jack came back to Marvel they wanted to get it’s hands into animation and toy licensing, so they started up the Micronauts, Godzilla and Shogun Warrior titles. One such title, Gigantor, was to be done by Jack, but it didn’t pan out . Not one to throw away an idea, Jack used the concept as inspiration for Machine Man a few years later.”

Original cover art by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer.

Colour Me Kirby

One of Jack’s legacies is the wealth of pencil and black white artwork which continues to inspire artists to indulge in honing their techniques. A perfect case in point is this colouring exercise courtesy of regular Kirby-Vision contributor, Marc Basile.

Adventures of the Fantastic Four

Marc Basile writes, “Growing up the artwork in The Little Golden Books really had a profound influence on me. To this day I still gravitate to them and my style has really been effected by the various artists who illustrated them. So here is my fantasy piece…what if such a book was published in the 60′s about the FF.”
