#JackedKirby - The Secret of the Sorcerer’s Mirror... 💥💥💥 I am currently doing a quick dip through the Challengers of the Unknown series in late 1958 after they co-starred in Showcase. DC saw potential in the team, so they gave Jack the room to write/draw a Challengers series. 💥💥💥 I was taken by this opening splash page from #Issue3 of the series (September of 1958) that showcases a great page layout with an ominous sorcerer smack in the middle. He is featuring some awesome Kirby headgear... and that headgear pops up in a very interesting way later in the book. 💥💥💥 In pics 2/3 of this post, you can see the object of magical power from the issue... and that item is a mirror. The shape of the mirror is exactly in the shape of the Wizards headgear design from the issue open.... absolutely AWESOME foreshadowing and use of design. 💥💥💥 Kirby added this little subtle touch and it is absolutely awesome. I love finding things like this upon re-reading series at a later date. I never noticed it before, but stands out yo me immediately now! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #ChallengersOfTheUnknknown #Challengers #SplashPage #Splash #KirbySplashPage #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicsOfIG #50sComics #ComicsOfThe50s #DCComics https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVibodBRiw/?igshid=bjg2iik6ve1m
