The 10th Sky Masters daily!Following the creation of the Challengers of the Unknown, but before the release of Fantastic Four #1, Kirby and Wood tried their hand at creating a comic strip. While Sky Masters of the Space Force didn't last long, the art is a fascinating mix of both Kirby's and Wood's styles, both on full display in this strip, the 10th daily of the series. Pen and ink. Art is in very good condition, there is minor discoloration in two of the word balloons where paste-ups are missing. Signed by Kirby and Wood.
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
Wally Wood is an American comic book artist/ writer who is also one of the founding artist for Mad comics. In addition to penciling numerous comic book pages, Wally also ventured into product illustration, music album covers, and trading cards. Wally's most notable works include the aforementioned Mad comics, Marvel's Daredevil, and Weird-Science Fantasy for EC comics.
