Time for another All-Kirby classic! In addition to his superhero and monster comics, Jack Kirby also made quite an impression with his western heroes.

I'm sorry, but The Demon on horseback?? I'd say it would be 'HORSEFEATHERS' if i didn't think i might get a STRONG nay-gative response from a certain someone. That poor horse!! Good thing Two-Gun is also a lawyer, he'll have just the right kind of Welcome MATT to have for Satan!!!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia?! What's the Two-Gun Kid doing so far east of his range? Could Wolfram and Hart be trying to recruit Matt Hawk to their Hot-lanta branch?
DeleteNo worse than some of DC's geography, where Star City (home to various versions of Starman) is described as being both in Maryland and in Kansas...
DeleteI thought Opal City was in Maryland and Smallville was in Kansas (with Star City more likely in Ohio).
DeleteI'm sure that I saw Kansas mentioned at one stage for Star City. It definitely had had one of DC's 'Western' heroes as an earlier sheriff or police-chief, and in the 1990s there was a local supervillain called the Prairie Witch...
DeleteThe Demon meets The Checkered Demon?
ReplyDeleteOr Etrigan vs. One-Punch Man.
DeleteThis drawing of Two-Gun Kid shows the one big weak point in Kirby's work: his occasional use of highly awkward poses. This pose is dynamic and dramatic, as befits the King, but it also would take a fair bit of practice to keep from falling over.
ReplyDeleteMaybe TGK has the same kind of mutant sense of balance as Hank McCoy.
DeleteSay it once, twice three times the charm. H.H.H. isn't proud just not useless. If the Devil has a shadow can he have problems too? Two Gun is out of vacations for a few years.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you a "Hundred Bullets" you're wrong. ;-)
DeleteThis looks like a job for the two Johns (Blaze and Constantine).
DeleteI used to love that blessed shotgun JB used! With the buckshot in the shells apparently having been cooled in holy water (or something like that)?
DeleteIt was nowhere near as kick-butt as Frank Drake's ecto-zooka from the "Midnight Sons" comics.
Delete#my namesake@10:49AM---I believe Frank, himself, referred to that as his Exorcist Gun (aka "Linda").
