Captain America

This week at Kirby-Vision we will be featuring the inking artistry of Doug Hazlewood as he takes on the challenge of inking “The King”. First up, Captain America from Tales of Suspense #59. Doug writes, “I did not ink everything exactly the same and made the bricks less mechanical looking and fiddled with his face some (mainly his eyes). At first they were too George Tuska-looking and I touched them up some more. The original eyes just kind of ‘bug’ me a bit.  I love Kirby and Stone and I don’t think this Cap figure was the most ‘Chic’ looking, but it is a cool splash. I didn’t want it to be just a straight recreation. Everything is hand-inked that is black on here.”
