What if Kirby

Comic Art Con - Not Your Normal Con

Tom Kraft — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:01:48 +0000

A smaller but excellent convention takes place on March 24th in Secaucus, NJ. This con happens in the Fall and in the Spring and is strictly comic art, no comic books or toys. For this one day event, I will be set up at Nostalgic Investments' tables, with scanner to archive Jack Kirby artwork for the Kirby's Musuem's Jack Kirby Digital Archive. Any type of Kirby art is welcomed and appreciated. For more about the Comic Art Con, comicartshowcase.com

Another WonderCon is upon us and time to migrate west to Anaheim, California, of course with scanner under arm. Both me, Tom Kraft of this site and Rand Hoppe of the Jack Kirby Museum, will be set up at 2 booths with our high power, industrial, magical scanners to archive yet more beautiful Jack Kirby artwork. Any type of Kirby art is welcomed and appreciated. The Kirby Digital Archive is now approaching 3,000 pages.

Thor Pencil Photocopies

Recently several beautiful and rare Kirby pencil photocopies turned up for auction. I was fortunate to acquired 16 of them from The Mighty Thor and The New Gods. Some of the best copies are from The Mighty Thor issues 156 and 157 featuring Mangog. These stories were originally published in September and October of 1968.

I will be at the Meadowlands Crown Plaza Hotel in Secaucus, N.J. this Sunday, September 23rd for the Comic Art Con. If you have any Kirby art to archive for the Jack Kirby Original Art Digital Archive, please bring it along and look for me at Bechara Maalouf's Nostalgic Investments table, probably the only one with a scanner.

Happy Birthday Jack Kirby

Jack Kirby, the King of Comics and the inspiration of WiK would have been 95 years old today. A happy birthday wish to Jack and many thanks for all the wonderful worlds he created that we continue to visit and play!
