 Another of my most prized art possessions, this is page 21 from Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur issue number 8, dated 1978. Many Jack Kirby aficionados don't like Kirby's work from this period, but this is what Jack Kirby was doing when I first started buying and reading comics late 77-78. So I'm very nostalgic about it. My friends and I loved this stuff. Devil Dinosaur, Machine Man, he was doing Black Panther at the time, and Marvel Comics was also publishing reprints of Jack Kirby's work from Fantastic Four from 10 years earlier. So we were seeing the work that many people considered to be the height of his career, as well as the new stuff that was coming out in 78, and we loved all of it. The inks on this page are by Mike Royer, who was inking all of Kirby's stuff at Marvel at that time, and he was very faithful to the pencils, more faithful than probably anybody else up to that point. Kirby's work during this period was almost abstract, very severe, but there was motion to it. There was a real beauty to it. I've heard some people describe it as being two-dimensional, flat, and I don't disagree with that. I think that's part of its charm. There you are, Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur.
