Tales of Suspense #37 [1963] – Cover
Some great alien creatures on this Kirby/Ditko cover. I especially love the sample from Saturn. Plus the usual crazy Kirby tech over on the ray gun.
(possibly Ayers inks, see comments)

Kid Colt Outlaw #107 [1962] – Cover
Man, that horse looks surprised. You’d think after 107 issues with Kid Colt it would be used to this kind of stuff by now.
Not the best Kirby alien, but I love the details lavished on the space-ship, with the layout giving the image a real 3-D look. Excellent Ayers inking.

Ghost Rider #21 [1976] – Cover
Another of Kirby’s many 1970s covers from various Marvel books, the first of his three GHOST RIDER covers, which marked the transition of the character to more of a super-hero from his horror/fantasy roots. Pretty busy cover, but a nice dynamic pose for the main characters. Al Milgrom inks.

Tales to Astonish #54 [1964] – Cover
Man, Giant-Man had some of the sorriest villains ever. El Toro, with these little tiny horns on his head? Sad.
Still a lot to like on this Kirby/Ayers cover, from Giant-Man’s pose to the details on the various buildings.
