Jack Kirby & Joe Simon cover art
The moody and mysterious cover of Star Spangled Comics #26 famously showcases the immense talents of Jack Kirby, as the Golden (and Silver) Age master began to influence the many draftsmen who came after him. The Newsboy Legion looks on in horror as their companion, The Guardian, stares down the barrel of a gun while an unseen figure puffs away on a cigar just out of frame, inviting readers to want to open the book and find out this villain’s identity. This is a memorable and compelling piece of Golden Age art that rarely come up for auction, and is sure to turn the heads of Kirby collectors.
