Genius is right. Kirby made comic art sing with thrilling inventive action and storytelling. Love having Tom contribute ( I agree it’s Sin City inThat one panel (Marv pulling on cell window bars)
Tales to Astonish #82 would be another good tour-de-force Kirby job to look at. It's part two of a cross-over between Iron Man and Sub-Mariner. Gene Colan was the regular artist on Sub-Mariner at the time and penciled the first couple of pages, but then he got really sick and couldn't do any more, so Stan Lee enlisted Kirby to finish the final ten pages, but with only a weekend to do it. Kirby goes nuts and does 10 wild pages of Iron Man and Sub-Mariner beating the hell out of each other. It was funny, several years ago at San Diego Comic-Con, back when you could still buy comics there, there was one guy who each year would have a couple tables stacked with 60s Marvel comics for a few bucks each. I would always check them out and one year I'm there and I see a couple guys leafing through a comic and one of them says, "Rich Buckler made a career off of this comic." I look over and see the guy who said it was Bruce Timm, and the comic was Tales to Astonish 82.

@@CartoonistKayfabe Excellent! I'll watch it tonight.
Guys thank you for making this and posting it. I found Jim shooter's lecture online and it really explains a lot about storytelling using this story.
I wish I could say the same about your video. I know you were trying, but you mostly compared it to the way a lot of other artists draw when they are "inspired" by some of these exact panels. For those of us who have a tendency to forget Comics we have read that were made after 1979, because they just aren't that memorable to us, it was a lot of comparison to artists that I either didn't see or just didn't remember cuz they didn't have an impact.
But you made me aware of this and I appreciate it
Strange Tales 114 is cover-dated November 1963, and Cap's real re-introduction was in Avengers 4, cover-dated March 1964.
It's said that Stan Lee was deeply affected by John F. Kennedy's death, and wanted to bring back Captain America as a reaction to that event.
Here's something else that sort of links up -- in the first four issues of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos there's a character called Junior Juniper. In my opinion, Junior was based on Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., older brother of John F. Kennedy. Joseph Jr. was killed in a freak accident involving an automated bomber plane, in 1944.
Junior Juniper was the first significant character in Sgt. Fury to die, shot to death during a combat mission. His death appears in Sgt. Fury issue 4, cover-dated November 1963. So I think Stan may have been psychologically rattled by the timing.
15:50 -Haha, I remember that Jack Davis Spaulding ad on the back cover!
No doubt! I don't know how long that ad ran, but it feels like every issue from the late 70's had that on the back cover.
Also, one of the secrets I think to the magic of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, missing from so many storytellers since: I get the feeling they are thinking about, what would this character say and do if he were REAL? That seems so missing from so many since.
One thing I think that needs to be considered is that this is from a time where you wouldn't see action shots like those anywhere else!
What happened was Kirby’s last issue was 214; he abruptly quit comics and moved to animation.
Remember that issue in Captain America, always enjoyed those classic Human Torch tales in Strange Tales (as you say, a weird mix of DC / Marvel)
I like Johnny reading about Captain America who is really Steve Rogers! You don't need to wonder where Cap is Johnny, just start looking up Steve Rogers in the phone book.
Moments before you reveal the reveal, I started thinking to myself, “Man, Cap is doing somersaults in like every panel… that sure is an interesting choice…” 😂
Brilliant, the three musketeers are back!!!
King Jack Kirby of comics!!
Master class...
Does anyone know who drew the Human Torch "corner box" (I know it's not technically in the corner on this particular cover) on the cover? I always liked that image.
Page 1 splash by Dave Cockrum and…? (Image is too small for me to tell)
OH HELL YES
I noticed that Jack Kirbys art seemed (especially with henchmen) to give everyone a somewhat apelike square jaw look. It kind of turned me off a little bit. I was more of a George Perez guy!!!
