I have been wanting to have a reason to try a Jack Kirby homage piece FOREVER, but couldn't come up with a valid concept to work a strip around. Getting loopy off of NyQuil gave me the inspiration to really have fun with Kirby's trippy, cosmic goodness. This idea DEMANDED color, for obvious reasons, and trying to mimic both the color style of the 60s and 70s, along with the look of newsprint printing was a LOT of fun to figure out. Now, on FRIDAY there will be an extra special... variation... on some of this art on my PATREON! Something extra groovy! ;)

Reading Kirby's Fantastic Four for the first time, and I really don't understand why the general consensus is that it's slow to start for the first 20 or so issues and then gets good.

Like the first time we are introduced to Doctor Doom he sends the Fantastic Four (minus Sue) back to the Golden Age of Piracy so that they can steal magic jewels from Blackbeard!!

You're telling me this isn't some of the coolest shit you've ever read?!

And this is only issue #5!!!

The silver age consistently had some of the most creative, absolutely bonkers storytelling, particularly from Jack Kirby. I do not and cannot understand why people seem to be unable to approach these comics genuinely at their own level. The same goes for silver age Superman in particular.

I guess this is why I'm the crazy bitch who only reads comics from 30+ years ago.

The one post I have been WAITING a long time to bring back- the most recent (and probably final, I have no reason to redesign these enough to where they need a new reference) set of Nextgen references.
