Thanks to Kendall Whitehouse for letting me know he is the owner of that Marvel letter autographed by Lee and Kirby.

Here are some links to Kendall’s online material. Hopefully he’ll give us the background story on that piece on day.

Thanks to Cliff Galbraith for pointing out to me that I should have made it clear that he was the artist of this piece:

Thanks to Brad for sending in this link:

The Monkees! Drawn by–Jack Kirby?! True! Who Says a Comic Has to Be Good? Not BRAND ECHH!

Anybody out there want to take a stab at guessing who all of those celebrities and public figures are? Click on the image to enlarge it.

Here’s an interesting Kirby Spider-man drawing it looks like Jack did for one of his grandchildren dated 1975.

Here’s another beautiful scan of a published Kirby pin-up. Thanks to Roger for sending this in. Here’s a scan of the art in black and white..

This appears to be a scan of the original, published pin-up of Sue Storm. You can see the changes made in the reprint in the Marvel Masterworks book below. That color effect on Sue’s face is interesting, I wasn’t even aware old comics could use color in that fashion. It’s too bad Marvel couldn’t have just photographed the original books for many of their reprints and I can’t even begin to understand why some editor would make those changes to the published artwork, like removing those captions.

Thanks to Bill for sending in this scan. If anyone knows the original owner of this piece I’d love to know the story behind it. You can see the folds so maybe a fan mailed a letter to Marvel and asked for Stan and Jack’s autographs?

The artwork looks like several of the images were probably swiped from Kirby drawings. Rawhide Kid and Two Gun at the bottom look like they were probably paste-ups, but figures like the Hulk and Nick Fury look like they were done probably by an office staffer.
