If there is one thing out of the many that can be said about Jack Kirby, it could be that he was ahead of his time.
Earlier today, Buzzfeed showed off the lost Kirby art that was going to be “used” for the fake movie “Argo”, and is it intense and obviously Kirby. The heavy inks and broad lines that are distinctive to the Kirby style, but the intricacies of just everything is astounding. You can tell some of his comic work snuck in with the Celestials and Galactus lookalikes.
With this found art, it just shows that even thirty-something years later, Kirby is still upping the game for artists and creators today.

“Lost”? Seriously? Not only have they been on another website for years, but they all appeared in THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR #11 back in 1996, which has been in print in some form almost continuously ever since (the original magazine, collected in THE COLLECTED JKC Vol. 2 and now digitally as well).
And neither you or Buzzfeed can be bothered to credit Mike Royer as the inker.
Also, maybe find a way to put the scan up there that doesn’t squish the artwork? Would that be too much trouble?
