Of all of Jack Kirby's Fourth World concepts, Mister Miracle has always been my favorite. The idea of a super escape artist was very cool to me as a kid and I dug his costume, which was very busy but somehow worked. The mask with the Egyptian style eyes always stood out amongst other heroes cowls to me, and I loved the flying discs he used. Along with the rest of the New Gods, Scot Free was killed off recently, so fans of the character will have to wait patiently until DC decides to dust off the property for another relaunch. Hopefully the wait will not be too long, he's too cool a hero to keep down... and besides, if anyone is able to escape comic book limbo, it should be him!
Once again pure magic. You do such a good job fusing two different pieces or art together.
ReplyDeleteFantastic cover!
ReplyDeleteWho knew that Kirby either created or drew nearly every character imaginable! He's like that Perez kid...
It is truly a shame that nearly every character featured here receives an obituary or eulogy.
DC and Marvel really know how to waste good characters, don't they?
Love it.
ReplyDeleteDid you skip Metal Men? I'd like to see what you could do with them.
The Metal Men will show up in the "T"s.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I recall your alphabetizing system now. Looking forward to it.
