The Kirby Museum was proud to have received some photos from then-Trustee Lisa Kirby of the 1976 backstage meeting of Paul McCartney and Jack Kirby<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are some that believe that McCartney hired Kirby to produce the artwork that appeared on stage during the performance of “Magneto & Titanium Man” during that tour.<\/p>\n

\"Wings\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the same artwork that was used as a record sleeve:<\/p>\n

\"wings-magneto-and-titanium-man-capitol-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I found the sources for this image:<\/p>\n

\"IronMan_022_p09\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"UncannyX-Men_043_p03\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Avengers_130_p07\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

So, there you have it. The source images are, from left to right, by George Tuska & Mike Esposito from Iron Man 22 (February 1970, on sale December 1969) , George Tuska & John Tartaglione from X-Men 91 (December 1974, on sale October 1974) and Sal Buscema & Joe Staton from Avengers 130 (December 1974, on sale October 1974).<\/p>\n

Any of these three comics may very well have been some of those that kept McCartney “from going bonkers” by “keeping their kids entertained”1<\/a><\/sup> in Jamaica while he was writing, as McCartney described the genesis of the song. The “Venus and Mars” album on which the song appears was recorded November 1974 – March 19752<\/a><\/sup>. Or the comics just may have been those available to the artist who pulled the backdrop together.<\/p>\n
